We have a 9 year old club and have reached a size where we support over 300 kids each day after school and 250 in the summer time. We charge our members $12 per year to attend the club and many can't even afford this meager amount (so they are given scholarships to attend). It costs us $2,600 per year to provide our programs to a youth who attends every day for the full year.

How do we make up the difference? The answer is through a multitude of areas including grants. We need assistance researching grant opportunities and writing grant applications, letters of interest, and talking with grant funding providers about our club to see if our mission matches their areas of interest.

For volunteers 18 or older, a Livescan background check is required and costs $48. The fee will be reimbursed after 30 hours of volunteer service.
