Masonic Youth Outreach Program
Providing Support to Our Next Generation
The Masonic Youth Outreach Program supports children, grandchildren, and families connected to the Masonic community, as well as youth in the broader community. Through this program, we connect parents, grandparents, and caregivers with financial, social, educational, and clinical resources that help young people build a strong foundation for the future.
How We Support Youth and Families
We work to connect families with helpful information, services, and opportunities that support long-term success. Our goal is to provide education, guidance, and preventative resources that help youth thrive at every stage.
Support may include:
- Information on scholarships and other educational resources
- Housing related to youth employment programs
- Help low-income students and families navigate forms and available resources
- Referrals to mentoring and other supportive community programs
- Connections to resources for new parents and families
Connecting Youth to Opportunity
The Masonic Youth Outreach Program also helps families connect to effective youth programs and trusted community resources. This can include tools to access local and federal programs, and guidance in finding evidence-based youth services that fit a family’s needs.
We also encourage collaboration with our Masonic Volunteer Program to provide additional support and promote volunteerism among youth.
Intergenerational Connections
We believe in the value of intergenerational experiences. Through day camps and other activities, youth have opportunities to build meaningful relationships with older adults on our campuses. These experiences help create connections, encourage learning across generations, and provide valuable life lessons that stay with young people for years to come.
