We provide programs “without walls”...there are no barriers to participation.  Our multi-lingual, multi-cultural services are free to low income children and families and are delivered locally incorporating community resources.

We are proud to be a program “of” the community by recruiting, developing and engaging the skills of local residents to work with children and families within their own neighborhoods.
