Educational Youth Opportunities (EYO)

EYO is a program designed to increase educational, social, cultural, and recreational activities for youth. It is also designed to develop and enhance leadership abilities among school aged children and youth. The program provides a safe alternative after school program in which children in kinship care and community children can be enriched through academic and cultural stimulation.
