Who We Are

The Open Door Youth Outreach exists to improve the lives of neighborhood youth through programming that supports strong self-identity, resiliency, and behavioral competence. We are intentional in purposeful community engagement through positive relationships in academic assistance, social interaction and athletics with caring adult volunteers in an environment of safety and fun.

What We Do

For almost 40 years, The Open Door has created programs for children in Crafton Heights and its surrounding neighborhoods. 

Our current programs include:

- After School Club
- Friday Night Rec
- Youth Group
- LEGO Club
- Gaming Group (RPG's, D&D, TTG)
- Girls Group

All of these are for various age groups from Kindergarten through 12th grade and are FREE of charge. We also hope to begin Saturday Play Dates for our youngest neighbors once volunteers can be secured!

Additionally, we host an annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner and a Community Christmas Party, both of which are free to all of our neighbors.
