of parents/caregivers agreed that their children developed stronger learning habits since attending Safe-Hub programs

“Before coming to Safe-Hub, I couldn’t start a conversation with someone—I didn’t have a lot of confidence. Since joining Safe-Hub, I’ve met so many new people that I have become close with and have had so much fun. As a PlayMaker, I have improved my communication skills, have learned to speak up, and have gotten ideas to help choose my career path one day.”

“I love how [Safe-Hub] creates an atmosphere that builds relationships with the other parents. We communicate, share resources with each other; it gives you the opportunity to talk to someone and not feel so isolated. I’ve benefitted as a parent through establishing relationships with other parents, and you hear about so many different community resources just by chatting with each other.”

“Not only do I love my teammates, but I also love the coaches and the respect I get from here. I am excited to go to practice every day because of my teammates and my coaches. At Safe-Hub, I can improve my soccer skills but I am also provided with opportunities and a job. Safe-Hub helped me take a huge leap as a teenager!”
