Thousands of students have participated in our program. We have impacted countless families during the Christmas season and at the start of the school year. We believe in the value of a safe and supportive community. We foster hopes and dreams of the future leaders of our community. Our vision is for every child to have the opportunity to succeed. We are St. Mark Youth Enrichment.
Although we have been in the Dubuque community for over 25 years, there are still many people who do not fully understand what we do. Our mission is simple. We provide academic and social support to school aged youth and their families. As an agency we are growing, and unfortunately, so are the needs of many of the families we serve. Children from low-income families have more hurdles ahead of them in life. Just to give one example, statistically, they have less books than their more advantaged classmates which correlates to lower reading and math scores as well as graduation rates. Proven fact.
Whether you are already a strong supporter of the work we do at St. Mark Youth Enrichment with before, after and summer learning or if you are new and would like to know more, you have come to the right place. Now is the time to get engaged in the lives of youth who truly need your support. This blog will serve as a story board to help you see how we engage in the community and give ideas on how we can stay connected even more!
Thank you for joining us!
