The King Street Youth Center was born of meager resources amidst tremendous need
in the heart of Burlington, Vermont. With a few dedicated parents, a group
of volunteers from the University of Vermont, and a budget of $90, the program
began in a van parked next to the former King Street Laundromat. Our
mission was to provide community-based support for children and their families
through educational and recreational programs.
Over the decades, the number of children served, the structure of the programs
and the sources of funding have all changed. The neighborhood is still
poor with poverty influencing families in a host of negative ways.
Our vision for the next
century embraces the fundamental belief in the value of all children. Our
existence is based on our belief that children deserve the best that we have to
offer. We owe them our collective richness and will be blessed in return
by one child's ability to return the favor to another generation.
