Learning Club students earn points for showing up, working hard, and saving throughout the school year. They can then use those points to “purchase” prizes.
It is a fun way to keep students motivated while teaching the value of effort, responsibility, saving, and accountability.

You can help us keep our prize shelves stocked by purchasing student incentives from our Amazon Wishlist or visiting LearningClubKCK.org/donate.

Every prize celebrates a student’s hard work! 🎉

On August 18th, the powerful storm that swept through Kansas City, Kansas, damaged our Learning Club office.

Thanks to the incredible support of our staff and volunteers, we are back up and running. However, many of the families we serve are still dealing with the storm’s aftermath.

At this time, monetary donations and gift cards are the most helpful ways to support our families. Your contribution will allow families to purchase the specific items they need while helping ensure this storm does not continue to disrupt our students’ learning.

Please donate today and help our Learning Club community recover. 💙

In 2023, when we asked Sarah if she liked going to school, her answer was, “Not at all.”
This year, her answer was, “Always.”
For the past three school years, Sarah has worked with her Learning Club tutor and mentor, Ms. Joyce. With Ms. Joyce’s encouragement and support, Sarah has grown nine reading levels and is working toward reading on grade level!
Sarah says Ms. Joyce motivates her to work hard and do her best at Learning Club and at school.
Every child deserves a caring adult who believes in them. Become a Learning Club volunteer and help a student write their own success story.
