You can. We can. The children can!

There’s an activity that we call Movement Time. It’s an opportunity for students in our iCAN programs to put down their pencils, close their books and get outside or in the gym for some good ol’ fashioned play and competition.

For the children in our iCAN program, Movement Time is as much a rallying cry as it is an activity. More than half of the students in the at-risk areas that we serve in iCAN score below proficiency levels in reading and math.

Our minds are an amazing gifts from God that must be nurtured, exercised, inspired and motivated.
Our iCAN programs were developed to do exactly that! Confidence — something these children unfortunately don’t have enough of — is what gives us the foundation to learn and grow.

The iCAN Learning Center is a program that ties directly to our vision to REACH, SERVE and SUPPORT. We’re reaching children in areas that would normally go underserved.
