Urban Youth Impact
- Jan 30, 2020
- 2 min
The children we serve, live in Palm Beach County's most at-risk neighborhoods due to poverty levels, school readiness, graduation rates, teen birth rates, breakdown of family, violence, and a problem with fatherlessness.
The majority of juvenile crimes are committed between 3 PM - 6 PM on weekdays.
Students who are unable to read by 3rd grade are four times more likely to leave high school without a diploma than proficient readers.
In the neighborhoods we serve, 65% of the youth live in poverty.
With your help, we are able to provide a continuum of services in
literacy, leadership, and the Lord to inner-city youth in our local community.
