Our vision is to have a community filled with youth successfully overcoming the issues endemic to their peers in the inner city. We will work with at-risk youth to set and accomplish goals that will improve their options for a successful future. Through our programs we envision a community with lowered dropout Rates, impoved academic performance, and lifestyle improvements for the youth we serve.

In a community where....

  • Out of 19,000+ students at 25 of the public schools, only 21% function at or above grade level,
  • More than 65% of our clients struggle academically and live in low income households,
  • Approximately 35% of our after-school program youth are homeless and 30% of all of clients have been or are currenty in the foster care system,
  • The average household size of 3.2 earns less than $26,000 annually,
  • Approximately 52% of the family households are headed by Women, and
  • Less than 35% of the population reside in owner occupied dwellings

.....we're creating opportunities for children and youth not just to survive, but to thrive. Find out how you can help.
