Providing care to more than 100 youth every day at no cost to families
Our Community Centers Program provides a safe and nurturing environment for youth from low-income neighborhoods at no cost to families. Research shows that quality after-school programs improve school attendance by nurturing a sense of belonging, creating a connection to caring adults, and providing academic enrichment, all of which make youth more likely to go to school and succeed.
