Programs That Work

Nourishment

By utilizing donations and a vast network of distribution, JOY provides food, nourishment and personal health items for countless youth and their families.

Health

The importance of obtaining medical care is often out of reach for many of today's youth. JOY takes an active part in providing supplies for good medical care.

Afterschool Programs

Knowing how to read and write does not mean a child isn't in need of attention or caring of another sort.

Private One-on-One

Sometimes the only way to hear what a child needs is to listen. At JOY we try our best to hear and listen.

Youth Group

When a child needs other children to feel accepted, when belonging really counts, JOY provides a place to belong.

Weekend Retreats

Getting a jump-start is often a catalyst for a succession of sucess. JOY arranges a positive jump-start at life and all it has to offer

Summer Camp

A summer away from the everyday pressures of a bad situation, where a well child can bond with friends and counselors and make an everlasting memory... and where an ill child can run and play like any normal well child. JOY organizes all of the possibilities.
