What we do
Our primary goal is to meet the emotional and developmental needs of Barton County youth. We refer to this process as youth development.
Community Effort
It includes the efforts of other youth, adults, communities, government agencies, and schools to provide opportunities for youth to enhance their interests, skills and abilities into their adulthoods.
Training
We have an extensive range of educational programs and services, and we supply training and materials to area schools and organizations, enhancing their ability to reach youth.
Connection
By designing and implementing comprehensive youth development programs, we help parents, caregivers and other youth leaders connect to the teens in the community.
Programs
We have programs for grades K–8 that run year round.
An after school program for grades K–5 that includes indoor/outdoor play, snacks, and homework assistance.
A community-oriented program for grades 6–8 aimed at incentivizing good behavior through rewards.
The summer version of our After School program that lasts all day as opposed to only after school.
