Miami YFC offers effective programs that engage children and youth of all ages and all social, religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds. These programs are designed to bring wholeness and hope to Miami’s young people and include: • KIX is a neighborhood outreach program serving the communities of West Homestead/Florida City, Princeton/Naranja, and Overtown. These communities are characterized by high crime, high poverty with 97% of students eligible to receive free/reduced lunch programs. At KIX, at-risk children and youth receive fun, engaging, best-practice curricula, activities and individualized instruction including literacy, homework assistance, health/nutrition classes, physical fitness and life skills development. Serves 500 elementary through high school students. • Juvenile Justice is a program for youth living in residential facilities that have been abandoned, abused, and arrested. Juvenile Justice partners with Miami Rivers of Life, DJJ and The Miami Bridge providing bi-weekly sessions and bringing a message of hope to more than 1,000 youth per year. • Campus Life is a program that combines healthy peer-to-peer relationships with creative programs to help high school students make good choices, establish a solid foundation for life, and equip them to positively impact the world around them. This program meets in the areas of Miami Springs, Hialeah Gardens, Westchester, and Coral Gables serving over 350 high-school students each week. • Catalyst Hip-Hop was founded 13 years ago with the mission of positively impacting at-risk youth involved in the four elements of the Hip-Hop culture: break-dancing, rapping, music, graffiti art and DJ’ing. This program serves 1,200 youth per year. • Miami Youth Leadership Initiative (MYLI) is a training program that teaches youth leaders how to be more effective at reaching youth.
