About Us
Impacting the lives of children and teens in Manatee County since 1946.
To enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible citizens.
Empowering our kids to build a stronger community
It all started in 1946, in a small wood frame field house used by major league baseball teams during spring training.
