You can help by sponsoring a Learning Center in your area. Click below to find out how.

Getting Involved
Making A Center:
WARM2Kids Learning Centers provide a structured and engaging approach to after-school programs. Each center is fully outfitted with state of the art computers and accessories. In addition, all members of the youth center receive access to the WARM2Kids suite of social and emotional development focused content, featured and readily available for 24-hour access via www.WARM2Kids.com.
More than 14 million children in the U.S. are left unsupervised after-school. Studies have shown that, on school days, juvenile crime as well as drug and alcohol use peaks between the hours of 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. With only 17% of at-risk youth being taught the basic life skills needed to make healthy choices, teens who do not participate in after-school programs are three times as likely to engage in high-risk behaviors.
A lack of positive programs, role models and competent supervision leave many parents concerned about the well-being of their children.
WARM2Kids’ resources are designed to fill idle after-school and summer hours with positive extended learning activities. By partnering with YMCAs, Boys & Girls Clubs, Jewish Community Centers and other community organizations, the WARM2Kids content and program reach a widespread and diverse cross-section of youth. Together, WARM2Kids is working with these organizations to leave no child unsupervised and offer much-needed relief to families across America.
