About
Restoration Ministries After-School Program and Summer Day Camp offers homework help, tutoring, and access to enrichment activities such as Chess Club, Garden Club, Bike Club, sports, flag football, and tennis. Participants receive nutritious meals and take part in field trips and college tours. The program also uses the Bread for the Head library, which is filled with 2,000 new books and serves as a free bookstore where students can take a book home weekly and keep it as their own.
• Ages: 5–13 years old
• Schedule: After School Program meets Monday through Friday from 3:00 to 6:00 p.m.; Summer Day Camp runs Monday through Friday for six weeks
A professional reading specialist and a math teacher provide tutoring and instruction in the program. The purpose of the Summer Day Camp is to provide constructive and fun activities during the summer to help students avoid summer learning loss, improve their reading and math skills, and have a safe place to be. Summer activities expose Harvey youth to new experiences, develop their talents, and increase their knowledge. Since 1988 Restoration Ministries has helped those in need discover a renewed sense of hope, rebuild their lives and communities, and restore their faith in God, self, and the goodness of others. Its mission is to restore hope to people while bringing lasting change to the community. Through 22 programs, Restoration Ministries provides life-changing opportunities to at-risk and underprivileged youth, men and women with histories of addiction, and families struggling in poverty. The organization’s leadership includes President & CEO Todd Schultz and Director of Youth Programs & HR Julia Martin, along with other directors and managers overseeing youth programs, arts, food programs, counseling, and administration. One participant, Lashay Hill, states, “I will always be grateful to Restoration Ministries’ staff and donors for all that they make possible for kids like me.” Another, Garry Ruvoli, shares that Restoration Ministries showed him to always have faith and believe that anything is possible with God and that the organization provided a way out when he saw no way out.
