Celebrating 40+ years of empowering the children and youth of Elyria.
Learning for a lifetime.
Who We Are
Save Our Children started over 40 years ago out of the youth ministries program at Asbury United Methodist Church, the oldest African American Church in Elyria. There have been multiple generations of families and children who have come through our humble doors. SOC received its 501C3 status in 1996 and has continued to serve children of all ages from kindergarten through high school graduation. We currently run an after-school and summer program for students in grades K-12. Our rich history includes some amazing men and women who have made great contributions to our community over the years.
Our Mission
To enhance literacy, foster academic excellence, and nurture leadership skills among the vulnerable youth in our community.
Our Vision
Changing the world one child at a time.
