Supporting At-Risk Youth

Our family at the IBC consists of caring mentors, coaches, trainers, educators, and program participants. We offer unique afterschool programs: Physical Fitness programs, the Learning Center, Vocational Center, free afterschool snacks/meals, and Gloves With Love service-learning.
 
Through these activities, we emphasize homework, open communication with school teachers and principals, and family involvement. We exist to serve both the bodies and minds of Toledo’s most at-risk youth.
 
The Institute for Building Careers knows that in those young bodies are teenagers dreaming to succeed. We help them succeed and we know our community can help us make it possible.

Please give today to support the Institute for Building Careers.

You can play an important role in the lives of this at-risk youth through your gift of time, talent, or treasure. Toledo’s future depends on the success these and other young people are able to make of their lives. They are our future, and they depend on the generosity of people like you.
