Littleton Area Youth Enrichment and Support (YES!!)
Our call: “To find and serve the Child Jesus in our communities by moving away from asking how can we get more young people from our community in the doors of our church to asking, how can we go out the doors of our church to serve the needs of young people in our communities?”
All Saints' is now offering inclusive free and low-cost enrichment and support for local youth, and is partnering with Littleton Recreation Department to offer weekly programming. Come be a part of the fun!
​
Our volunteers are friendly and experienced, many of them former educators. Meet our Team.
​
Whether you're a teen looking for some one-on-one support with your life at school, or for some fun things to do in the summer or after school, or both, Littleton Area YES!! has something to offer. Check it out!
Individualized Student Support
Our support volunteers give students access to a trusted adult who can provide one-on-one mentoring, academic support, encouragement, and organizational coaching. Students and their Support Volunteers meet online or in person here at the church, conveniently located just a block from the Littleton High School and are fully supervised.
​
We provide between 2 and 4 weekly Student Support sessions monthly per student. Sessions run between thirty and forty-five minutes long, and vary in frequency according to the needs of the student, and the availability of the Volunteer.
​
If you or your teen are interested in this program, please fill out this inquiry form, or call the church at

Littleton Recreation Department After School Collaboration
In Fall of 2021 we kicked off a collaboration with the Littleton Recreation Department. Our
volunteers offer enrichment programs to students who are attending the Littleton Recreation
Department After School Program. We offer a Storytime, Chess Club, and a Homework Club.
In addition, we bring in guest presenters and speakers free of charge.
​
Meet Our Team of Volunteers
All of our volunteers bring a wealth of life experience and professional expertise to this program. Every volunteer undergoes a background check and training on working with young people. They are leaders in our community, grandparents, educators, parents, and professionals ready to partner with students in being the best people they can be--volunteer and student alike.
