Welcome!
Innovative Community Action Network (I.C.A.N.) is 501 (c) 3 Non-profit organization and community outreach program. Our goal focuses on bringing people of all races, nationalities, sex, creed, religions, and ethnic background together in unity to change our world.
Having a dream to re-build decaying communities and lives by making the world a better place for all of humanity, whereby all can live in peace and harmony. The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Handy strives daily to raise the consciousness of people everywhere to make a difference. His meager beginnings in a small rural town in Monroe, Louisiana and his childhood in a housing project greatly contributed to his mission to enlighten, inform, educate, and motivate people to better themselves and their communities.
In 2002, Dr. Handy founded I.C.A.N. (Innovative Community Action Network) a non-profit organization incorporated and based in the state of Louisiana. Dr. Handy main focus was the future and reclamation of our youths, serving the needs of the poor and needy, and promoting peace and harmony throughout our society.
In effort to prepare all young boys and young men for the realization of being a man in today's society, he has developed a program called "Christian Manhood Training Program" (CMTP), which is a rites of passage program which deals with many of today's tough issues such as developing a relationship with God, treatment of women, responsibility of being a Father, learning to love and not Kill, the importance of an education, handling racism, and the dangers of drugs and alcohol abuse.
Dr. Handy has also developed a program for young girls called Christian Womanhood Training Program (CWTP), which is designed to prepare young girls for womanhood.
I.C.A.N. is a vision of Dr. Handy to care for those in need and those who want to better themselves and the world around them. Dr. Handy invite you to join us to change the world and make it a better place for all of humanity.
