The program is geared towards providing additional math, reading, and science skills to youth in grades 3-6th grades who are at risk based on various circumstances.

In addition, to academics the camp will focus on building empowerment and self-esteem among the youth to help decrease negative behaviors as well as provide coping mechanisms for those dealing with mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Youth will be provided two evidenced based curriculums one dealing with thoughts and emotions and the other on leadership skills.

Description
Unlocking Futures is a nonprofit geared towards helping families who have been impacted by incarceration. The idea for the organization came about as a result of the founder's own experience with raising a child with an incarcerated parent and while doing so, she lacked a support system. Her and her child experienced many hardships and found that there were not any community agencies providing support to families after their loved one became incarcerated. So, she founded Unlocking Futures.
Unlocking Futures provides parenting classes, academic tutoring, and a social and emotional program. The parenting program utilizes an evidenced-based curriculum to help youth and adults develop healthy communication skills while also teaching drug and alcohol prevention as well.
