Nurturing Our Own
The Youth and Family Services Department offers a variety of services to the community in our effort to help individuals strive for a brighter future.
The After-School and Summer Day Programs provide our youth with activities and training opportunities to develop physically, socially, culturally, and educationally. Through group sessions and exposure trips, like our annual college tour, the youth and teens are encouraged to identify with and live up to their fullest potential.
