Welcoming Our Community's Children

 

Activity Zone EasterAt Jubilee Youth Services, we offer a safe place of belonging, learning, and enrichment to the young people of Jubilee Housing through after-school and summer programming.  Opened in 2007, we served 40 children and youth age 5-18 from the Jubilee Housing community in our first year, and continue to grow.
 
We aim to:
  • Build  intentional, trusting relationships with children and their families Fishing 2009
  • Provide a foundation where children feel loved, encouraged, and supported
  • Balance love and forgiveness with accountability and consequences
  • Challenge children to move beyond their current level of comfort and competency through constructive feedback
  • Encourage academic excellence and a desire for learning

 

 

Our Programs Deliver:                                         
  • Academic support
  • Enrichment activities
  • A safe and supportive environment
  • Meaningful relationships with staff, tutors and mentors
  • Healthy life skills lessons
  • Teen leadership development 
  • Community service opportunities
