Our Mission
To put Christian principles into practice through programs and services that promote youth development, healthy living and social responsibility for all.
Strengthening The Foundations of Our Community
We are a powerful association joined together by a shared commitment to nurturing the potential of kids, promoting healthy living, and fostering a sense of social responsibility. We believe that lasting personal and social changes can only come about when we all work together to invest in our kids, our health, and our neighbors. Every day, we work to make sure that everyone, regardless of age, income, or background, has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
Financial assistance is available to all who qualify.
