Who We Are
A Legacy of Empowerment: Over 40 Years of Save Our Children in Elyria
For more than 40 years, Save Our Children has been a beacon of support for Elyria's youth, born from the heart of the youth ministries program at Asbury United Methodist Church, our city's oldest African American Church. We've had the privilege of welcoming multiple generations of families and children, witnessing their growth and potential unfold within our caring environment.
Since receiving our 501(c)(3) status in 1996, Save Our Children has expanded its reach, now providing impactful after-school and summer programs for students from kindergarten all the way through high school. Our enduring history is a testament to the dedication of countless individuals and the remarkable achievements of the young people we've served, many of whom have become influential leaders and contributors within our Elyria community.
