Reading 4 A Reason
Encourages and inspires local youth to read every night after all homework is done during the school year. Reading 4 A Reason - Summer Bingo is an extension of the reading program during the summer to aid in reducing the dreaded “summer slide.” This program encourages children to read during the summer in fun and inventive ways. *
Get Up & Move
A program that focuses on independent/free play, free from parents and electronics. By continuing to put importance on “free play,” we hope to build upon the youth's ability to solve problems, control emotions, play with others, develop empathy, and take control of their own lives, so they grow up to be not just successful adults but happy ones at that. This is held in conjunction with a 5K race and other physical activity events.*
Safety With Maxx
Our safety program for kids is designed to teach children about important safety practices to keep them safe at home, school, and in the community. This program runs year round and is completey free for all.
Hero Impact
This program although in its early stages is rooted in a heartfelt commitment to support children bravely facing illness. We plan to keep our scope close to home in the initial stages within Clayton and Dubuque County.
Our Mission is to cultivate meaningful connections that nurture a positive self-image and create a deep sense of belonging. We truly believe that through joy and play we can help provide moments of relief from pain.
*Prizes awarded for participation for all programs.
