     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.
