Where do I sign up?

During the school year, HALO Domestic Centers serve as safe havens that provide tutoring, educational workshops, and future focused programming for at-risk, homeless, and foster youth. This summer the Denver team has put together an incredible camp for the kids offering tennis, bowling, ceramics, choir, art, step, skating, photography, and swimming... Seriously. Where do I sign up?

I went to the HALO Center this week during the start of their first session of four week summer camp. The staff informed me that attendance was lower than expected because there was a family of multiple children who didn't show up. When one of our staff members did a home visit, she learned their family couldn't afford the $10 per child entrance fee, which is charged to instill ownership for the parents. Not only were they struggling with that, their utilities had been turned off at their home.

Think about it. That's no stove, no fridge, no microwave, no warm water. Its no night-lights, no air conditioner, no phone. The kids shower at a nearby recreation center and stay out as long as they can before they go home. 

It is our goal to seek out and reach children in the greatest need. If that means a child living on the streets in Uganda, a homeless child in Kansas City, an orphan in Mexico, or an at-risk youth in Denver, we are ready to help. Giving the neediest child a chance at a brighter future is our mission. With the help of our volunteers, staff and supporters, we are able to offer summer camp, shelters, tutoring, vocational training, mentors, basic necessities, and hope around the world. We couldn't do it without your help. Thank you for making this happen. Click here to learn more about our programs or how to get more involved.

Campers having a blast.
