In the morbid wake of COVID-19, one of our top priorities is to assure the health and safety of our students as well as our staff. We support every decision to slow the spread of the coronavirus to assure the safety and well-being of our community. At this time, our public events and sporting events will be postponed until further notice. Our Youth Programs will become available online in April. Our department is currently mobile and open for business. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to call us at (314) 367-3440 ext. 701 or (314) 203-4427 or by email at youthdept@betterfamilylife.org

Please feel free to read about our COVID-19 Tips and Resources here.
