Coraopolis Youth Creations Youth Programs

Coraopolis Youth Creations Youth Programs offers activities such as Friday Fun Night, a small after-school program, free summer lunch, and the Annual Back 2 School Bash. During Friday Fun Night, kids have received a hot dinner, played games, and gone on occasional field trips. The program also includes youth programs, classes, family activities, events, and family nights, with options for cooking, art, dance, music, and environmental education through volunteer-led demonstrations or weekly classes.

Over twenty years ago, Coraopolis Youth Creations started Friday Fun Night in the basement of Coraopolis Church of God. The organization states that it is dedicated to building community and strengthening families through youth enrichment and parent and youth enrichment. It describes The Hub as a safe gathering space that houses youth programs, classes, family activities, and events, and notes that it serves as a unique and accessible community hub in a region with limited resources. The organization reports that it aims to provide programming that mitigates the negative social, emotional, and structural impact of suburban poverty, and that volunteers are a vital part of its work, including offering one-time demonstrations or weekly classes in topics they choose. It also reports having a robust team of community leaders ranging from an Executive Board to a Community Advisory Council.
