common ground montgomery

CGS' original sister organization is Common Ground Montgomery (CGM).

It was founded in 2006 by Bryan Kelly to serve the greater Washington Park community of Montgomery, Alabama. The community has a unique place in the Civil Rights era of the history of the United States, with ties to meeting places for the planned Montgomery Bus Boycott of the 1950s and is also a stone's throw from Rosa Parks' home. And yet, even being 50+ years past, Washington Park is still suffering from neglect and systemic injustices.

Bryan Kelly and his family first moved into the neighborhood along with Kevin King and his family. What started with bible studies, food drop-offs, and transportation of football and baseball teams, has morphed into an after school program, a Pre-K, a summer camp, financial literacy classes, home renovations, and more.
