Children’s Connection
Children’s Connection has been in existence since 1999. It is the only organization in the Greater Kansas City area whose sole purpose and vision is to provide programs and services to children in Jackson County with an incarcerated parent, in a holistic manner and empower them to become productive members of society. Our mission is "To inspire hope and strengthen children by providing programs and services that lessen the impact of the incarceration, and the prevention of intergenerational crime and incarceration.” The program operates Monday through Thursday, in an after-school setting (summer programming is also provided) for youth ages 5-18. The children are transported on vans from their respective school to the program site and home each evening.
Once on site at the 40 Acres and a Mule campus, the children participate in programs and services focused in five core areas:
Character and Leadership Development;
Academic Enrichment;
The Arts;
Sports, Fitness and Recreation; and
Health and Life Skills.
Summer Academic Camp
Twenty (20) churches that comprise the Swope Park Renaissance/Upper Room Inc. operate youth reading programs at each of their churches. The 40 Acres and a Mule Activity Campus provides an outdoor physical fitness outlet from their normal activities. Each week the churches rotate for three and four hour sessions at the Campus. Half their time the youth are involved in soccer and the other half of their time swimming. Forty Acres and a Mule Activity Campus provides both the soccer field and the swimming pool for a fee to pay for life guard and Campus maintenance.
