Downtown Urban Community Kids gives inner-city kids the hope, confidence and opportunity to reach their inherent potential and become role models within their families and communities.

DUCK kids live in areas with the highest rates of gang activity. The program offers them a safe place to hang out after school and during the summer and helps them stay in school, learn new things and widen their experiences.

During the school year, DUCK vans pick the kids up at school and take them home around 6 p.m. In the summer, DUCK offers a six-week daily program during which the kids are picked up in the morning and brought home in the afternoon.

DUCK is housed on the third floor of the Historic First Presbyterian Church building at 4th Avenue and Monroe Street in the heart of downtown Phoenix.
