Full Circle Youth Program

🏊‍♀️ Splashing into Summer! 🏊‍♂️

Last week, Full Circle completed our first session of swim lessons, and it was an incredible week!

For some of our participants, the pool was a brand-new experience. We watched kids face their fears, try new things, build water safety skills, and grow more confident with each lesson. By the end of the week, there were lots of smiles, laughter, and proud swimmers.

Opportunities like these are about so much more than learning to swim—they help children build confidence, resilience, and memories that last a lifetime.

A huge thank you to Lawrence Kansas Parks and Recreation and the Lawrence Indoor Aquatic Center for providing such a positive experience for our youth. We are grateful for partners who help make these opportunities possible.

Check out some of our favorite moments from the week below! 💙🌊

Today we’re spending the day at the Douglas County Family Resource Center Community Conversation! 💙

We’re excited to have a seat at the table and share the experiences of the youth and families we serve through Full Circle. We’re looking forward to connecting with community partners, learning from one another, and helping identify ways we can better support families throughout Douglas County.

When organizations come together, great things happen. Stay tuned—we’re excited to see what comes from today’s conversations! ✨
