About this organization
Mission
Offer the love of Jesus Christ to at-risk inner city youth & homeless young adults.
About
After school programs - Our after-school programs have attracted over 300 at-risk youth, including our flagship campus in Des Moines and 4 additional metro locations. Elementary children, many refugees, are tutored on-site by volunteers. Our focus is on reading where we track reading levels of each student. Over 90% of our students enter our programs at least one year behind in reading levels. We have been successful in increasing the reading level of all of our students. Our teens are active in our programs which include art, pottery, cooking, computers, music, welding, woodworking and mechanics. Youth have an opportunity to sell items they have made in classes at our teen arts fest. Crime and drop-out rates have decreased among our population served. Programming occurs 5 days a week all year long and over 23.000 meals are served to the hungry children during program.
