YOUTH PROGRAMS
Making sure our kids don't fall behind goes beyond the classroom.

To do this, we provide a different opportunities through our different youth programs.
  • Community service and volunteering opportunities
  • College tours and college preparation
  • Social events in a safe environment of peers
  • Leadership opportunities to plan and organize​
