Summer Youth Outreach Program brings value, stimulation, fosters self-esteem as well as mental and physical health and wellness. We truly see a need for a more holistic approach to healing, repairing, and empowering our youth. We feel our need for potential life changing programming is apparent. Our community's struggle with substance abuse, poverty, and mental health is a well-documented one. Targeting both youth and seniors in our area with programming cultivated to address these issues plaguing our community not only creates visibility and awareness, but puts tools to combat these issues directly in our participants hands. The Summer Youth Program offers a plethora of different projects throughout the summer, including physical fitness through Pump Iron for Life, Kids Kuisine and Life on a Plate, Equestrian Kids, Botvin’s Life Skills, and Cirque D’ Art.
