Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Youth Development Programs
Mission: Building Character--Connecting Community The Dakota Center’s mission is to provide a safe community atmosphere engaging Dayton neighborhoods and people of all ages in programs that educate the whole person.
Results: We provided services to 553 youth in Montgomery County last year!
Target demographics: Our goal is to educate and enrich the lives of youth
Direct beneficiaries per year: 553 youth in Montgomery County
Geographic areas served: Montgomery County, Ohio
Programs: Our After-School Program provides our youth with homework help and a balanced and nutritional meal Monday - Friday. This program also educates youth about good nutrition, exercise, proper etiquette, positive character traits (i.e. respect, responsibility, trustworthiness, etc.), and financial literacy (i.e. save your money in a bank, manage your money wisely, deposits and withdrawals, etc.). Our Summer Camp provides youth with a positive and fun environment to spend their summer break. This program is designed to combat the so called "summer slide" where students forget much of the curriculum they learned the previous school year. Classes on Math, Reading, Art and Recreation keep the youth in the pattern of a structured and productive daily habit. Each week we go swimming at a local swimming pool and take a field trip to various sites throughout South-West Ohio including: The Boonshoft Museum of Discovery, The National Museum of the United States Air Force, The Cincinnati Zoo, etc.
