We follow the vision and guidance of our founders, Saundra Colello and Medard Kowalski, Sr. that started with a group of teens “hanging out” around a dining room table engaged in fun, food, and fellowship.

Now students arrive at The Link 4 Youth to find healthy snacks and have some down time from their school day. After that, there are a variety of activities including sports, board & video games, trivia, crafts, an outdoor firepit surrounded by swings, and couches if kids just want to sit and interact with friends or a caring adult.

There is a short age appropriate lesson each day that encourages conversation and offers a positive message. It may be a Bible lesson, guest speaker, Adopt A Night host, cooking demonstration, or local business such as a bank. A hot dinner is served with leftovers sent home with the kids for their families.  

The Link 4 Youth After School Program operates Monday through Thursday from 3-6pm during the school year and follows the holiday and closing schedule of the West Shore School District.

All students 4th-12th grades are welcome!
