Committed to Enriching the Lives of Youth
We primarily serve at-risk or underserved middle and high school youth who either live in or attend school in Andover, Anoka, Coon Rapids and Ramsey.
📕During the school year we provide academic support as well as out-of-school time (OST) activities and field trips on school release days.
☀️In the summer, you will find us at our Youth Center in Ramsey hosting fun and engaging activities, learning opportunities, and field trips.
🎯Our programs focus on learning success, healthy minds and bodies, and engagement in a healthy, supportive community.
🔦Our vision is to build our youth for the future where they are more likely to succeed academically, socially, and civically, regardless of perceived or actual boundaries.
✅We do this by ensuring youth have five fundamental promises they need to succeed:
- Caring Adults
- Safe Places
- A Healthy Start
- Effective Education
- Opportunities to Help Others
