Lord’s Gym Youth Summer Program
The Lord’s Gym Youth Summer Program, hosted at our Family Activity Center in Price Hill, creates a safe, supportive environment where youth can grow academically, socially, and spiritually throughout the summer.
Through intentional programming, meaningful relationships, and engaging activities, students are encouraged to build friendships, explore the Greater Cincinnati community, strengthen life skills, and experience the joy of simply being a kid—all within a Christ-centered setting.

Volunteer With Us
Volunteer to play a vital role in the Youth Summer Program. By showing up consistently and building relationships, volunteers offer encouragement, model positive behaviors, and help create a welcoming space where young people feel seen, supported, and valued.
Serving alongside our youth is not only impactful for students—it is often transformational for volunteers as well.
Partner With Us: Adopt-a-Class
We invite churches, businesses, and community organizations to partner with us through an Adopt-a-Class–style model.
These partnerships allow us to meet practical needs while surrounding students with consistent care, encouragement, and opportunity. Together, we can create lasting impact and strengthen the community we serve.
