Desirae Holmes, Lead Youth Worker Our Club is a neighborhood-based, out-of-schooltime youth program. Our priority is to serve residents of Our House’s Shelter and Family House and clients of the CAFSI program. In addition, Our House has strong ties to the community, and the most common way our clients find out about our program is by current families referring other families with school-age children. Our clients also find out about our youth program through LRSD schools and through the City of LR Department of Community Programs. Mollie Ipsen, Child Care Coordinator Little Learners has a beautiful blend of children. Some of our children are clients of Our House. Some are current or former residents, and some are CAFSI clients. Some of our children have been referred to us by a speech therapist, a friend, or an Our House team member. We also have children in our program whose parents are Our House team members.
