Mission: To provide a positive environment, quality programs, and lifelong learning skills for all school-aged youth in clark county with special concern for those coming from disadvantaged economic, social, and family circumstances.
Programs: The clubs provided after school and summer programs and activities to youth who were in grades kindergarten through 12.
