Ely Community Resource has been supporting youth development activities for K-12 since 1978! That is over 47 years!
We maintain our goal to welcome all students and uplift caregivers by offering them tools to see a brighter future for themselves and their families. Over this time we have fostered an invaluable connection with the school that allows us to support students in and out of the classroom. Offering tutoring, social guidance, recreational outlets, leadership development, intergenerational & mentoring activities as well as family support. Our programs are entirely sustained by grants and generous donations from community members and supporters. Through this, our programs have remained free or mostly free!
We rely on the ingenuity of our employees to develop programs and activities that minimize daily costs in order to continue to support the thing that matters most to us –
youth and families!
