Kare Youth League was founded to encourage children to build character by making positive personal decisions during childhood through team activities and spiritual training. The Kare Youth League motto is “Their Future is Now” and children in the program are taught to “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.”
The Kare program centers on a trained Leader who works with children in vario
us activities including team sports, club meetings, outings, camps and trips. Through these group or team activities, a Leader attempts to create a spirit of positive peer pressure that encourages members to make unselfish decisions to help their teams and others. Kare Youth League Leaders come from a diverse background of personal faiths, but all take a personal charge to follow the teachings of the Bible and to live and demonstrate Judeo-Christian principles at all times. Kare is a 501 (c) 3 tax-exempt organization and is supported mostly by current and former members and does not receive any governmental funding. The name Kare Youth League was chosen to emphasize the purpose of the organization which is to “care” about what is best for children, rather than just teaching a sport or winning a game. Our goal is to teach children to “care” about others and about God as well as to “care” about the future. Kare will occasionally alter the equipment, field size or rules of the game to make them better for the children who are playing. Kare begins its name with the letter “K” to make it unique, as it believes every child is indeed unique. Each child joins a club (a group of children his or her own age) which has year round activities. Boys enjoy football, basketball, baseball and soccer, while the girls’ program includes activities such as volleyball, basketball, softball, soccer, drill team, cheerleading, and crafts. Kare Youth League also offers many special activities including an annual Track Meet in August and summer and winter camps at Kare’s beautiful, privately owned camping facility in the Angeles National Forest. Older children may also participate in special trips touring the United States which range from 2 to 8 weeks in length.
