Mission: To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens. Who We Serve: We serve 3,000 children and teens, ages 6 to 18, in our clubs and afterschool programs, and through our partnership with the Naples Children and Education Foundation and Florida’s 21st Century. We offer a safe place for young people to learn, grow and develop ongoing relationships with caring, adult professionals who support the educational, emotional, physical and social development of our youth and provide them with the resources needed to become successful adults.

Nearly 89% of members receive free or reduced lunch, 48% of members come from homes where English is not the main spoken language, 38% of members live in single parent households, and 63% of members live at, or below, poverty level.
