Keep Kids Engaged
There is plenty kids can do to keep their mind and body active and engaged.
We will be updating daily with new games and interactive lessons so check back regularly.
Get Connected to Technology!
With many families trying to balance their own jobs with multiple kids at home, we know you need access to technology and devices. We are working to assess the families with the greatest need and continue to connect them with resources.
If you have technology needs, please reach out to our Regional Operations Director, Marlon Andrews.
Help Us Continue to Serve our Mission
As we reopen our Clubs, we are committed to serving our kids and families with safety top of mind. We’re working with kids and teens to process their emotions and heal from trauma, address challenges related to academic backslide and distance learning, and continue the path to reach their full potential. As trusted mentors for more than 80 years, we’re dedicated to showing our kids the power of their voice in serving as advocates for a better future.
