New Life Empowerment Development Center, Inc. was registered with the IRS in 2009 as a Bible Study ministry and incorporated in 2014 as a 501(c)3 nonprofit. We are a fulfillment of a dream — providing technology, skill acquisition, and empowerment through learning at the grassroots level.
We are passionate about teaching individuals, families, communities and nations the value of enlightenment through God's purpose for our lives. We are committed to helping everyone who will accept any type of help we offer.
Beyond the classroom, we teach kids how to use computers from the ground up, loan laptops directly to students in need, and partner with local churches to administer development programs and homework assistance to children across the city of Jonesboro.
We supply school materials — backpacks, pens, pencils, rulers and more — on a first-come, first-serve basis for students from Kindergarten through High School.
Beginner computer classes and Computer for Kids — teaching internet basics, email, and fun educational websites for children of all ages, monitored and assisted throughout.
We loan laptops directly to students who need them, ensuring no child is left behind due to lack of access to technology. Because every learner deserves the tools to succeed.
We connect students with tutors familiar with their subjects, especially areas of struggle. In partnership with local churches, we administer homework assistance programs to kids throughout Jonesboro.
We support the AAMEN program for young men and are developing a mentoring and life skills program for young women in the community, led by Mrs. Carla Ota.
We equip community members with practical, real-world skills to improve their livelihoods and employability. From digital literacy to hands-on vocational training, we invest in your future.

Every year before the school bell rings, NLEDC rallies volunteers and donors to make sure no child in Jonesboro starts the school year unprepared. We provide backpacks loaded with pens, pencils, rulers, and essential supplies to students from Kindergarten through High School — completely free, on a first-come, first-served basis. It takes a village, and we'd love for you to be part of ours.
Our computer labs offer beginner classes for adults and kids alike — covering internet basics, email, and essential digital tools. Children are guided through age-appropriate educational websites in a safe, monitored environment. Whether you're starting from scratch or looking to sharpen your skills, our lab is your launchpad.
No laptop? No problem. NLEDC loans laptops directly to students who need them, ensuring that every child has access to the technology required to learn, grow, and thrive. We believe the digital divide should never stand between a student and their potential. Reach out to us to find out how to apply for a loaner device.
We teach kids and community members how to use computers from the ground up — from internet basics and email to practical digital skills that open doors.

Mentoring Program Lead
Mrs. Carla Ota is developing a dedicated mentoring and life skills program for young girls and women in the Jonesboro community. Her work alongside the AAMEN program reflects NLEDC's commitment to nurturing the next generation — both young men and young women — to walk in confidence, purpose, and dignity.
"When you have a large family, it can get quite expensive with technology. For the past few summers and even throughout the school year, the lab has allowed us to check out laptops, and it has been a blessing. Our teens even started a social media management business using them! We are so grateful for this kindness."
"NLEDC gave my child access to a computer lab and homework help that changed their confidence in school completely."
"Volunteering with NLEDC has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. The impact on families is real and lasting."
"NLEDC is a true pillar of our community. Their programs reach people who need it most, and their dedication never wavers."
