Courtney B.

As a single working mom, it is stressful finding childcare from 3:30-6pm. When Ignite opened, it was an answered prayer and a resolution to a problem I didn't know how to fix. Ignite has impacted our town in such a positive way. I'm so thankful for a safe and fun environment for my child and the community

Lilly E.

I started working at a youth club recently, and I have never appreciated Ignite more. The way that your admin team leads is like no other! I can confidently say that no other youth club has as respectful kids and great admin team as Ignite. I'm realizing I made a mistake thinking every afterschool program was as good as Ignite!
