The Urban Ranger Corps summer session in the Manheim neighborhood helps to maintain the homes and property of the elderly. It also aids in the clearance and cleaning of vacant lots.

Our Mission is to prepare at-risk inner city youth for responsible and productive futures through a program of disciplined work experience and service in their community, leadership development and individualized planning for post-High School careers. Spend time with the youth of Kansas City’s urban core and you will discover the same potential for future leaders, savvy entrepreneurs, and brilliant thinkers as you would anywhere across Metro Kansas City. You will also discover a hopelessness linked to excessive high school dropout rates, crushing poverty and devastating violence. This hopelessness robs youth especially young men, of many opportunities. The Urban Ranger Corps aims to stem out this hopelessness.
