Our Young Leaders program is designed to empower teens with the tools they need to succeed in both college and their future careers. With guidance from dedicated mentors, hands-on workshops, and real-world exposure to various career paths, teens will gain critical skills in leadership, communication, and problem-solving. Whether exploring college options or building career readiness, Young Leaders helps teens confidently prepare for their futures.
Health & Wellness Programs
We are committed to developing the health and wellness of the children we serve. Our Health & Wellness program helps kids and teens build healthy habits that last a lifetime. Through fun activities, games, and interactive lessons, they learn how to take care of their body and mind. From eating right and staying active to managing emotions and practicing social skills, this program gives youth the tools to feel their best every day. Whether they want to get stronger, feel happier, or just learn more about staying healthy, we’ve got them covered with exciting lessons and support!
Good food and nutrition today means a stronger tomorrow
As a participant of the The National Child and Adult Care Food Program, we provide nutritious snacks and supper during our Afterschool Clubs, Seasonal Camps, and Community Service programs. Café RACC, our culinary club, focuses on nutritional education, promotes healthy eating habits, and addresses food insecurity for youth. Students grades K-8 learn about healthy cooking and eating.
Bike Riding Training
A unique benefit of participating in our camps is that if your child does not know how to ride a bike, we'll teach them. Through RACC Ride Along, children learn how to ride a bike, the health benefits of cycling, how to ride safely, and how to properly maintain a bike.
Seasonal Camps
Supervised, action-packed, safe, and fun out-of-school programs conducted during the summer, winter, and spring months as well as some weekends and teacher workdays where students enhance academics, develop old and new skills, build self-esteem, and establish friendships. Open to kids ages 5-14. Counselors-in-Training ages 15-17 and Counselors age 18+.

Community Service
With a village mindset at our core, our organization forges powerful partnerships with other nonprofits, schools, government agencies, and corporations that share the same passion for providing children with holistic learning experiences and much-needed resources. Projects include holiday givebacks and real-world field trip experiences to name a few.
Through these community service projects, we amplify our impact together, reaching deeper into the community and touching more lives. If your company would like to join us as a community partner. Send an email to volunteer@raiseachildcarolinas.org.
Community service projects also create opportunities for youth to give back to their communities, helping them foster a sense of responsibility, empathy, and civic engagement. Participants engage in various activities such as neighborhood cleanups, assisting at local shelters, serving the unsheltered, and organizing community drives, all of which help build character and instill a sense of pride and belonging in our youth.
