Description

By Jim Berry, CBS Miami February 11, 2022 The Liberty City Optimist Club is widely known for some of the NFL players who started out there, and for its local celebrity co-founder Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell. For over thirty years it's been a safe haven through its sports programs. But it's also home to an after-school program, in partnership with The Children's Trust. Kids get snacks, academics, tutoring, activities, field trips, and much more. The program recently received national recognition and embodies the phrase "it takes a village to raise a child." CBS Local Digital Media personalizes the global reach of CBS-owned and operated television and radio stations with a local perspective.
