The youth learn abouth the strength that God gives us to overcome obstacles in our lives. This program is funded in large part by Erie County Youth Services . Erie County has many other programs for youth as well. UCM is a community based organization and is privileged to assist our constituency in additional areas such as crisis referral, community sentencing services, the Mayor's summer youth program, and the Buffalo News Neediest at Christmas. We are also a site for federal surplus food distribution, which meets a very real need in the inner-city.
Violent crime is completely out of hand.
After careful study and much prayer, we believe that we have found a viable and workable solution that will change the minds and the hearts of people. This youth violence prevention program is geared toward making the necessary change in our young people. Block Club Basketball is geared toward bringing whole communities back together. The Camp is a ten year old program serving 50 to 100 children annually. We aim for adventure, growth and commitment.
