About Kalamazoo Friends of Recreation
MISSION: We support the Kalamazoo community through equitable access to youth development initiatives which promote safe recreation opportunities.
VISION: Building a community of active, passionate and responsible young citizens.
Now, more than ever, equitable opportunities for participation in structured programming outside of school is critical!
Kalamazoo Friends of Recreation contributes to the development of our community by supplementing the cost of youth recreational programs. In Kalamazoo there are nearly 9,000 youth living in low-income households. Most of these families can not afford to send their children to swim lessons or summer camp. However, this population is at greatest need for these opportunities which shape lifestyles, abilities and relationships. This is the population we serve. And in 2020, we opened eligibility to ALL City of Kalamazoo youth recognizing the impact of Covid-19 reaches well beyond economic barriers where many families have suffered mentally, socially and developmentally as well.
