Built by the Moose Fraternity over 100 years ago, Mooseheart Child City and School serves children who, for a variety of reasons, cannot be provided a suitable home by their family. Mooseheart continues to provide the highest quality of care and education and this challenge can only be met with your generosity.
They need to continue to strengthen an academic program and vocational program that works and allows students to take strides to learn at grade level and graduate with a college scholarship.
Eighty percent of Mooseheart graduating seniors enroll in two- and four- year universities around the country. Mooseheart Child City and School gives children a second chance at childhood in a safe environment where they enjoy a solid education and home.
