Everyday thousands of children leave school with no place to go, and everyday many of these at-risk youth are involved in crimes, join gangs, or experiment with drugs, alcohol or sex. C4KC offers a proven alternative for these children. We engage them in activities and on-going relationships with Police Officers, key community members and other first responders in an effort to increase confidence and encourage success in all areas of their lives, at home, in school and in the community.

Our programs offer a variety of activities for a wide range of interests, with full-time professional leadership and part-time workers and volunteers. Everything we do is designed to build self-esteem and to help youngsters learn how to make positive life choices.

The bottom line is, "we want to reach our youth before we have to rescue them."
