YOP Summer Success 2026 in the books! ☀️⚽️🥅🎨🔬🎥🍿

We were so happy to have families join us to celebrate the end of our Summer Success program with a park picnic last week. The past month has been filled with swimming, field trips, lots of soccer, art and more.

Summer Success also provided a work opportunity for our high school youth to participate in paid internships as they support the program, building their experience and skills.

We’re so grateful to have partnered with Adjoa Annang on these fun and impactful summer programs. 💜
