Youth Outreach is a community-based program designed to improve the immediate and long-term social, educational/vocational, economic, and health outcomes for vulnerable youth. Priority is given to youth 16 to 24 years of age who are facing environmental, social, and family conditions that may impact their safety, hinder their personal development, and prevent their transition into adulthood as healthy and productive citizens.
A Place to Belong programming is to support community based youth serving organizations, to provides children and youth age 5 to 16 years with a positive after school and/or evening and weekend experiences that promotes their personal, social and emotional development.
Big Brothers Big Sisters programming offers a wide range of mentoring opportunities to meet the varied needs of volunteers, children and families. All programs share the same goal: to provide youth with the encouragement and support they need to make positive life choices, achieve more and ultimately, fulfill their potential. BBBS programs partner and collaborate with a broad range of service providers so that children, youth and families have access to a comprehensive continuum of preventative supports and services to meet their holistic needs.
Boys and Girls Clubs programming provides children and young adults age 0-16 with a safe, supportive place where children and youth can experience new opportunities, overcome barriers, build positive relationships and develop confidence and skills for life. Programming is typically focused on children and youth who are vulnerable and at risk and need safe places to go after school.
