Our Programs

The Learning Lab
The Learning Lab is a year-round, academic support program for students in the first through twelfth grades. Working in partnership with local schools, The Learning Lab effectively helps students to increase their academic performance by offering after-school classes and tutoring in math, reading, science and homework help.

The Urban Youth Hub
The Urban Hub offers mentoring, support groups, camp experiences, spiritual growth and leadership development for middle and high school age youth through a variety of opportunities.

Urban Stars Athletic Program
More than 500 boys and girls, ages 5-18, participate in basketball, soccer, and jump-rope through participation in athletic leagues, tournaments and camps. Coaches serve as models and mentors teaching the young athletes life-skills that will serve them far beyond their days of sports activity.

The Family Center
The Family Center helps connect people to positive opportunities and empowers them to make life changes. Support classes for men and women concentrate on parental direction and encourage participants to become responsible individuals-both personally and financially-for the sake of their children.
