What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Saturday Sessions
Throughout the year, children have the opportunity to experience our Saturday Sessions. Each week they participate in action-packed games, songs, prizes and a message encouraging them to stay in school, stay off the streets, and serve God.
Home Visits
Relationships and consistency make a real difference in the inner-city. Our Volunteer Team Leaders faithfully connect with our children and families through Weekly Visits in their homes, schools and neighborhoods.
Leadership Development
Determination, Priorities, Success. These are three keys presented to young people in our after-school leadership groups, as they learn how to make a difference in our world.
Summer Leadership Academy
Each year, our Summer Leadership Academy gives us the opportunity to influence and empower one-hundred up-and-coming leaders over the course of three weeks.
Sidewalk Sites
During the summer we take our programs to the streets for Power Company Sidewalk Sites, as we connect with our children through ministry and feeding programs in our city's neighborhoods.
Project: Christmas Joy
Project: Christmas Joy is a staple outreach of PCKC. Each Christmas we give out more than 3,000 gifts to underprivileged children in Detroit and Pontiac.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Our mission is to promote the emotional, physical, social, and spiritual well-being of at-risk children and adolescents of our inner cities through mentoring, weekly training, and partnerships with parents, churches, schools, civic leaders, and community organizations. We focus on building long term relationships with the children and their families. We desire to equip children to break generational cycles of addiction and poverty and empower them to pursue a better future.
We desire to replicate our successful model to help empower children in our nation's inner cities.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Power Company Kids Club provides weekly home visits to more than 1200 children, as well as after school programs, Leadership Development (4th grade through high school), Friday night youth programming for middle and high school students, Saturday programming for grade school children, targeted individual mentorship, summer day camps, daily summer programming in multiple city parks, feeding programs, college scholarships, emergency provision of clothing and home related needs, annual distribution of thousands of Christmas gifts, and our fleet of fifteen 71-passenger busses, and four 15-passenger vans provides the needed transportation for our children to attend our programs.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our leadership staff oversee a volunteer staff of more than 100, half of which consist of young men and women who have graduated from our programs. Volunteers serve in all the programs we offer, doing the weekly home visits, driving our fleet of buses and vans to bring the children to our programs, providing the meals the children enjoy throughout the year, etc.
Our Children's Centers provide a base for all we do with the children and in the community. Our annual budget reflects our commitment to carry out our mission.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
The Power Company Kids Club opened in March of 1993 with 23 children attending our opening day. Today, all our programs and centers are being led and served by more than 50 young men and women who have graduated our programs and are giving back as volunteers.
We currently serve 2,000 young people and their families each week.
