Welcome to the Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation
Every day we see the effects of the struggling economy within our Northern Kentucky community. Economizing is a new way of life, and many stay-at-home parents are now forced to seek full-time employment in order to make ends meet.
Perhaps the hardest hit during this time of economic crunch are the young people, who often lack after school supervision and cannot afford extracurricular activities. This combination can create victims of peer pressure; a slippery slope often leading to drugs, violence, crime and even loneliness.
The Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation is an organization founded by parents, ministers and like-minded individuals to provide after school and summer program for youth grades 6th – 12th. Our goals are to provide safe centers for after school and summer activities.
The Northern Kentucky Youth Foundation was founded because the Commonwealth of Kentucky has higher youth related incidents than the national average. Over the last two years we have had more youth charged with crimes and neglect and abuse investigated than years prior.
We plan on launching our first program after Easter. While the location is undetermined we are looking at a venue in the Covington Area. We will run this program through the end of the school year. Our plan this summer is to run mini programs throughout the Northern Kentucky area in venues that we hope to open as full centers in August.
It is important to note that this is such an important cause and we need community and business support. We are looking for business sponsors as well as donations from individuals. You can donate by clicking here.
We are also looking for leaders and volunteers. Specifically those that have experience working with youth, fundraising, and non-profit development. You can get involved by e-mailing Info@nkyyouth.org or by calling (859) 795-1506.
