Youth development - the organization is committed to nurturing the potential of every child and teen. The organization believes that all kids deserve the opportunity to discover who they are and what they can achieve. The organization helps young people cultivate the values, skills, and relationships that lead to positive behaviors, better health, and educational achievement. The organizations' programs, such as youth sports, youth in government, aquatics, and success after school, offer a range of experience that enrich cognitive, social, physical, and emotional growth.

During the year, assistance was given to 3,107 individuals.
