Programs: Program services: american girl doll and boys read are clubs that raise their own money to travel to places associated with the doll and the book they are reading, spreading the love of reading among our youth. Camp challenge is an 8-week program for ages 5 to 18yrs old divided into four age groups. We provide two hours of education daily to our youth with reading, art, stem, code classes, letter writing, fieldtrips, college visits, job shadowing just to name a few. Our goal is to level the playing fields, and we are spot on. According to the chief of police, the crime rate in the city of washington with the youth has declined more than 50%. We have youth from 9 different school districts, with an average 160 of the 200-youth coming daily. Coco christmas is a free shopping spree for needy families. Last year we served over 1,400 people, it's the only program of its kind because we don't qualify income. This helps to level the playing field for the working poor. It's a great experience no one leaves out of here with anything under 20 gives some new or very gently used. Nutrafit is our free feeding program available to all youth. Our goal is to not only offer a nutritional meal we educate the youth on the various types of fruits and veggies they experience for 10 weeks in the fall.

Besides completing their homework, we help them get a comprehensive idea of their school work using reading, art, dance, piano, stem, photography, african drumming, etc. Through this consistent daily program, our youth become better students overall. They return to school more prepared with a high self-esteem because of the completed homework and comprehensive learning.
