About us

The Coalition is a non-profit organization with a mission to provide educational, spiritual and social guidance to children in our community.  At Coalition, they find a safe place, with caring staff and volunteers. 

Our after school program includes:

  • Help with homework
  • Reading and math assistance
  • Music and art lessons
  • Athletics
  • Special preventive programs for violence and substance abuse
  • A free snack and dinner.

Through our Coalition staff and a network of volunteers, we are eyewitnesses to something wonderful…lives changed, one child at a time.

Changing Lives

What people are saying

It’s rewarding when the kids express their appreciation for your service. The kids enjoy the time they spend with you very much and they let you know how much fun they are having. Volunteering with the children makes you often realize how important organizations like the coalition are to communities, small and large.

Brett Kindle

I can not express how grateful I am that my children have a fun, safe, and loving environment to come to each day. I appreciate all of your help and concern for my children. I don’t say this enough, but “THANK YOU!!” from the bottom of my heart.

Parent of Two Coalition Children

Thank you very much for helping Karen. She is making great progress in reading. She is reading several books each week and is reading more independently. The help with homework is
greatly appreciated.

Teacher, Cherokee Elementary

Our students have a need that is met every day because of the hard work of the Coalition and North Side staffs working together. It provides a structured, safe atmosphere for our students to complete homework, work on challenges and continue to refine their social skills…a win-win for all parties involved. On behalf of our school community I say,
“THANK YOU”!

Student Support, Indian Trail Middle School

I would say that the Coalition saves our students. The students who attend the Coalition For Kids have a safe environment to get extra help with their homework, reading, supervised play and even have snacks and dinner. Our school’s successes are due in part from the partnership that Fairmont has maintained with The Coalition. We are confident when our students are at the Rock that we have a vital support system to help our students to be successful.
