What is Joy? |
|
| |
JOY is a registered 501(c)(3),
non-profit organization providing developmental
programs for at risk youth. JOY provides food, clothing,
shelter, health and wellness, education, after school
programs, special training, mentoring, tutoring,
private counseling, summer programs, and guidance
to children from the ages of six to eighteen. Established
in 1996 to help those children who were on the streets
with no one to turn to for help. The dire situation
of many young children was at dangerous levels.
JOY stepped in to fulfill a need for children who
had no where to go and no one to turn to for help.
JOY is
helping to alleviate the problems of hundreds of
children, and to find solutions that work. |
