Purpose
Metro Kids Konnection is a community-based program that
intentionally creates caring personal relationships with at-risk children
and youth in order to identify and address obstacles to healthy lifestyle
choices in their community, families and school.

















Programming includes in-school teacher support, facilitation of
parent-teacher communication, after school educational and
recreational activities, summer day camp, and case management and
community support services for their parents including GED
preparation, job skills training and facilitation of community involvement
through community service.  Metro Kids Konnection's holistic approach
intervening in the context of the child's natural environments:  home,
school and community, empowers children and youth to make positive
choices that impact their lives before they become involved in drugs,
crime, gangs and other negative lifestyle choices.
