As the nation recovers from the aftermath of a pandemic and the ensuing economic hardships, many communities face significant challenges. Our youth are some of the most impacted. The lack of resources and opportunities directed toward our most vulnerable can have a devastating impact on the self-esteem of youth who are faced with uncertain prospects for their future.

For many young people, the lack of emotional and academic support can lead to a cycle of poverty and underachievement. Without access to high-quality education and employment opportunities, the adults of tomorrow may struggle to find good jobs, support their families, and achieve their goals. This can lead to increased rates of crime, substance abuse, and incarceration, further exacerbating the challenges faced by the community. 
 
To combat this Linked Arms Youth Services is offering solutions to communities seeking to reengage youth by offering high-quality after-school enrichment programs which are essential for their positive development. These programs provide opportunities for students to explore new interests, develop skills, and form positive relationships while learning social skills such as cooperation, teamwork, and conflict resolution.

Studies have shown, After-school programs can have a significant impact on the social, emotional, and educational growth of youth and can be a vital cog in keeping them on the path to success. Through a variety of creative enrichment activities, mentorship opportunities, and life skills training, our program helps to steer young people away from negative behaviors by providing them with positive outlets for self-expression.
