St. John’s House Learning Center, located in Huntington's 
poorest housing projects,  gives children who live in this 
area a safe, supportive place to come after-school to 
learn, play, eat, grow.   We provide learning development

activities, academic help, mentoring, advocacy and life skills 
units for school aged children and youth in the 
Marcum Terrace housing project. 

For many children, this is the one place where they can 
get a hot meal, ask questions about school work or a life 
problem, and enjoy fun activities like playing in the 
playground, hosting a lemonade stand or working on the 
computer. 

West Virginia is a state known for being wild and 
wonderful but also known for being poor and unemployed. 
The city of Huntington is beautiful but has both these 
problems as well a serious high school drop-out rate, drug 
prevalence and a high teen pregnancy rate. 


By working with children as soon as they begin 
school in kindergarten, and providing them with a safe, 
nurturing environment through out their school years, St. 
John's House hopes to affect all these areas in a positive 
way, giving the children a fighting chance to break the 
cycle of poverty.  We help kids thrive, be the very best 
person they can possibly be and most importantly imagine 
a future for themselves that is very different from their 
present circumstances of most of their friends and family 
in their housing project. 


People often say that they want to make a difference. 
 They say that children are our future.  St. John's Learning 
Center invites you into the joy of making a difference in 
our world, our state, our community, our school system, 
our neighborhoods our own lives by making a difference in 
the life of one child at St. John's House.
