Side by Side kids 

To help us meet our mission, we worked with University of Texas professors to develop a new curriculum for our program that breaks up the afternoon into sections- snack time, homework time, crew time, and recreation time. Each week, we focus on different biblical character traits such as faithfulness, compassion, and perseverance. Our Youth Development Leaders use a variety of teaching strategies, including physical activities, music, and art.
