Eddie Lee Wilkins’ Summer Program has served four generations of families, and has proven to be the blank canvas the community needs for our children to paint their own story, create memories of a lifetime, and define the colors of their true selves.
Whether it’s through day trips, speakers, counselors, the book mobile or other activities, having not a singular focus, Mr. & Mrs. Eddie Lee Wilkins, through the ELW Youth Association, Inc. has created a safe space and opened doors to the future of our children!
