PROGRAMS FOR YOU
TO STRENGTHEN OUR COMMUNITY
YOUTH SERVICES
​
Being of service to the children in our community is our top priority. We offer tutoring, SAT preparation, and extracurricular arts and crafts. Our summer program went partially virtual last year as we worked within the state guidelines regarding Covid-19. We have had a toy drive and distribution at Christmas for the past three years. Last summer we had a bike giveaway, with riding through the community and free ice cream.
