EXETER — Seacoast-area nonprofit The KEY Collective is pleased to announce it has partnered with its thirtieth program partner. It is the KEY Collective’s goal to make sure all children, regardless of financial status, have access to the same opportunities as their peers, without any social stigma attached. The KEY Collective’s #areuin? card program connects kids to scholarships and reduced pricing for after-school activities and programs through partner organizations. 

The newest program partners include Seacoast ArtSpot in Portsmouth, Little Warrior Cheer in Hampton, YMCA North Woods and Pleasant Valley Overnight Camps on Lake Winnipesaukee, Pine Street Players at Christ Church in Exeter, Portsmouth Youth Cheerleading in Portsmouth and Kensington Recreation & Social Committee in Kensington. The KEY Collective’s founding partners were  Exeter Area YMCA, Exeter Junior Baseball & Softball League, Exeter Parks & Recreation, Exeter Seahawks Youth Football and Girls on the Run New Hampshire.

“We are so excited to have our new partners on board and reach 30 program partners. We are grateful for the partnerships we’ve had for the past seven years and are thrilled to bring on new partners. Many of our newest partners are arts-focused, which is important in order to give #areuin? kids options to try different activities and be exposed to different opportunities,” says Executive Director Kristyn LaFleur.

The KEY Collective provides K-12 youth from low-income families throughout NH's seacoast region access to sports and other youth activities for free or at a reduced cost with no red tape and no social stigma attached. Since its founding in 2017, The KEY Collective has served 1,300 kids across the Seacoast by connecting them to 30 Program Partner activities, including sports, arts, summer camps, and other youth activities.
