Programs and results
What we aim to solve
Low income children and families have little or no access to services like tutoring, athletics and other extracurricular activities that foster academic and social success. The cycle of multi-generational poverty is perpetuated when disadvantaged youth grow up to be adults who are not workforce-ready.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Educational Opportunities
In Educational Opportunities, The Cabbage Patch offers a range of educational programs designed to help each student achieve academic success. Our highly trained teachers and volunteers work with each member to set goals and work toward his or her highest educational potential. Our staff is also available to discuss school or educational concerns with parents.
Youth Development/Recreation
In Recreation & Youth Development, children and youth learn life skills such as teamwork, commitment, discipline, sportsmanship and respect, all while having fun and building positive, healthy relationships.Our professional staff and volunteers offer a safe, supervised, and healthy environment to learn and play in our newly constructed and renovated facility. Ultimately, children and youth participating in programs in Recreation & Youth Development gain self-confidence while experiencing what it means to be a "winner in life.”
Family Development & Counseling
Family Development & Counseling Programs offer at-risk families the opportunity to discover long-term solutions to difficult problems. Programs are designed to be proactive, preventive and educational. Our goals are to guide families toward self-sufficiency and make profound differences in their quality of life. A strong emphasis is placed on helping families break the cycle of poverty by offering intensive case-management services that help move them from instability to stable and healthy family environments.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
The Cabbage Patch helps at-risk youth break the cycle of poverty and become moral, productive students, employees, neighbors and community leaders.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
The Cabbage Patch provides safe and multifaceted out of school time programming that includes recreation/youth development, educational opportunities and social services. Our College Scholars program is an extension of the educational opportunities department and provides the financial, academic and emotional support that at-risk students need to earn a college degree with minimal debt.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
The Cabbage Patch is funded by contributions, endowments, special events and other fundraising. We do not solicit government funding and are not a Metro United Way agency. This has allowed us to provide consistent service for more than 100 years without negative effects from changing funding streams. We have a strategic partnership with the University of Kentucky that has increased the capacity of the College Scholars Program.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
For over a century we have changed the lives and futures of tens of thousands children, youth and adults. On an annual basis, The Cabbage Patch serves approximately 1,000 children and families. Our focus for expansion is the College Scholars Program, which has been so successful that it inspired a partnership with the University of Kentucky. Our goal is to have 50 students in college by the year 2020.
