Our Program Breaks Barriers




Who We Serve
Students at Pine Grove Elementary School in grades K–5 from low-to-moderate income households in Shreveport-Bossier, especially those attending low-performing schools or facing academic hardship.
Why It Matters
Low readiness rates, academic gaps, and lack of afterschool safety disproportionately affect local youth. SJCL’s Youth Development Program gives students the tools, guidance, and support needed to overcome these barriers and succeed.
Building safer, stronger communities through service and hope.
