HELPING FAMILIES TO THRIVE FOR MORE THAN A CENTURY

Our team works to ensure families – of all types – have the emotional and communal support needed to do more than just survive. Through intentional programming and dependable support groups, Atlantic Street Center is able to help children, youth, and their families access much-needed resources to assist in their daily lives and long-term goals.

There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to providing support, especially for families with children. Unfortunately, too many of those who live in South Seattle, King County, and North Pierce County are considered no- or low-income making the ability to provide for themselves and their families more difficult than the rest of the Greater Seattle Area. At Atlantic Street Center, our Youth Development & Education Support Program creates culturally-relevant and productive programming for our families so that they have the necessary resources to achieve more.

We offer a plethora of programs centered around families and young people in our community. Some of our resources include:

  • After School Program: Monday-Friday programming for children in elementary through high school with a variety of relevant events and constructive activities
  • Teens & Young Parents Program (TAYPP): Weekly group meetings for both teen and young parents (or soon-to-be parents) under 24-years to connect with one another, take part in group events, and gain access to resources for themselves and their children
  • Kinship Care Support Group: The biggest group in King County catering to grandparents and other non-traditional guardians now caring for young children
  • Summer Academy: Our annual 5-week educational resource for children typically going into grades 4-8 to hone their school and social skills ahead of the next school year
