Mission

Our mission is to build leaders from here for here through Jesus and education. Our vision is to create change in communities by bringing Jesus and education together to build leaders. The Urban Scholastic Center (USC) was founded to help close opportunity gaps for students in Wyandotte County, KS through extended education opportunities laced with a strong faith foundation.

Programs

2 programs

Life Enrichment- The USC Life Enrichment program is our most comprehensive program. Geared toward the physical, spiritual, occupational, intellectual, social and emotional growth of our students, this program provides a number of experiences, resources, and support for students. Through this program, the USC provided over 10,000 meals to students and over 20,000 hours of tutoring. In addition, students participated in over 400 hours of exercise activities, attended and engaged in over 200 Bible Studies, had over 400 hours of supplemental educational activities, and heard from over 15+ different professionals.

Expenses: $154K

Free Food Store- The USC held a weekly free food store for the community. The store is stocked with shelves of shelf stable foods, fresh produce, refrigerators and freezers of dairy and meat products, and more. Unlike a traditional food pantry where individuals are told what to take, our clients come in and shop from the shelves and refrigerators choosing what they think their family needs. Our staff and volunteers then carry their bags/boxes and help load them for the customers or transport them home if they are without a vehicle. The store served over 2,000 individuals since it started.
