The organization states that its mission is to enable all young people, especially those who need it most, to reach their full potential as productive, caring, responsible people. It reports that its impact extends to the families and communities of the children it serves by increasing graduation rates, lowering teen pregnancy and crime rates, and increasing volunteerism. The organization began in 1939. Several of its units are designated as Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers, including the James J. Musso, Joe L. Saunders, John L. Sanders, South Ridge, Weinstein Family, and Wogan S. Badcock Jr. units. The program describes itself as offering academic, nutritional, and civic programs that support children at every stage of development, and notes that its after-school programs and nutritional dinners enable parents to work while their children are in its care. It also states that it is removing barriers to afterschool and summer care for families and that it is more than just a safe place.
