To provide services and programs for children.

These are all delivered in an engaging and fun format. Enrichment activities for art feature subject matter expert teachers and educational field trips (when possible again) that further understanding. Project learn is a complete and comprehensive after-school and summer program. The great futures for teens program serves youth in grades 7th-12th. This program also operates monday through friday during the school year and provides participants life skills, college readiness, career preparedness, financial literacy, sat/act strategies, fitness, tutoring, stem, community service engagement, leadership development, mentoring and assistance to help with summer employment. Our youth are able to be mentored in our programs to deal with the many adverse effects this pandemic has brought upon us. Our mentoring and guidance through these difficult times help open the doors for our children and youth to become successful members of society. We are part of the solution in developing our kids disadvantaged communities from crime-ridden zones to wonderful communities and neighborhoods.
