YouthQuest After School Initiative
This renewal grant provides continued support to the Genesee Area Focus Fund for the YouthQuest After School Initiative. YouthQuest provides children and youth with opportunities to learn and grow through a safe, engaging, and exciting afterschool learning experience surrounded by caring, responsible adults and sustained by involved and supportive community organizations. High-quality programming like YouthQuest is more critical than ever as strong, research-based educational and enrichment opportunities are important interventions for individuals from birth to young adulthood, especially for those who may have been exposed to lead, as those interventions can help mitigate the long-term impacts of such exposure.
