This is what we do.

The Manns Horne Youth Foundation exists to help kids reach their potential through participating in activities outside of academics. These activities include (but aren’t limited to) playing a sport, playing in the band, or taking a dance class. We pay fees for the child to participate and/or equipment costs.

We work as a team alongside social workers and counselors in elementary, middle, and high schools. These professionals help us identify underserved children who need our help the most.

Our hope is to eliminate the disparity between underserved kids and their peers when it comes to extracurricular participation. Taking part in these activities will give children a better chance of excelling in school and achieving their full potential.

It has been shown and we strongly believe that extracurricular activities help kids develop positive habits that stay with them. We also believe all kids should be able to participate, regardless of their family’s ability to pay.
