Children and Youth

Meet John Eads, the Director of Youth Services at Light of the City, a front-line, hands-on ministry run by VOA Southeast to reach out to at-risk youth in Baldwin County, AL, through free, year-round after school enrichment and Bible study programs. Since 2008, the program has filled a crucial gap in the county’s lower-income communities, providing tutoring, enrichment, and an array of other services to children and families through a year-round after-school program and an annual seven-week summer camp.

VOA Southeast is excited to announce that it has been awarded a generous grant of $2,000 from the North Baldwin Community Foundation, an affiliate of the Community Foundation of South Alabama, for the program, ‘Raising the Academic Bar for African American Students in North Baldwin County’.
