Youth Development

Investing in the Future.
The Kingsley Association and its partnering agencies offer youth from East End communities access to life-changing programs and services. Our philosophy involves numerous methods of instruction, mentorship, and peer interaction designed to combat a pervasive environment of youth violence, sexual involvement, and substance abuse. For years, we have helped youth become well-rounded individuals - empowered to make positive decisions for their future.
Whether instructional or recreational, programming is delivered in a safe environment by trained and dedicated staff who inspire our youth to dream and make those dreams come true.
Appropriate. Quality Care.
The Kingsley Association has made a solid commitment to ensuring outstanding community-wide childcare. We believe every parent should have access to a developmentally appropriate facility, which provides safe and nurturing environment for their children. To achieve this vision, Kingsley's Childcare Accreditation Mentoring and Support Program, in partnership with the University of Pittsburgh Child Development Center, actively works to improve the standards of childcare in East End communities, by strongly encouraging and supporting childcare centers in their pursuit of National Association for the Education of Youth Children (NAEYC) accreditation. To receive and display the NAEYC logo is the hallmark of a superior center - assuring parents their children will receive the best possible care.
