Our programs integrate healthy meals, daily physical activity, and social-emotional learning to give each child a strong foundation for life. *Community Youth Center: Located in the heart of the Washburn neighborhood, our Youth Center is a haven for kids aged 10-18. In 2024, it became a vital hub of mentorship, community, and safety. With an average of 20 youth visiting each day, the center provides academic support, meals, hygiene resources, and above all-a place where youth feel seen, supported, and empowered. *Inclusive & Adaptive Programs: Our inclusive and adaptive programming reflects our deep commitment to equity. In 2024, 384 individuals of all abilities engaged in activities ranging from adapted gymnastics to Miracle League Baseball. These programs foster not just participation, but belonging. *Gymnastics & Parkour: With 4,300 enrollments, our Vinger Gymnastics Center continues to be one of our most active spaces, helping kids build strength, coordination, and resilience in a fun and challenging environment. *Youth Sports & Camps: 1,398 children participated in basketball, soccer, martial arts, and nature-based camps, reinforcing teamwork, healthy competition, and outdoor adventure. *Arts & Humanities: 1,396 youth explored their creative sides through dance, music, and martial arts-offering a balance to physical programs and giving kids opportunities to express themselves. *Child Watch & Kid Zones: Our supervised drop-in care saw more than 30,900 visits, allowing parents to pursue wellness while knowing their children are in good hands. The addition of Kid Zones for ages 7-11 helped extend our support for families with school-aged kids.
