The Center's Youth programs each provide a variety of age-appropriate recreational, nutritional, computer and skill-building activities aimed at promoting physical, spiritual, social and emotional development. The STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics) model is incorporated in all aspects.
A.N. Minney Scholarship Program:
Since the 1970's, the Rankin Christian Center has raised thousands of dollars through private donations, which are then awarded as scholarships to those seniors in the Woodland Hills School District who graduate from High School and are enrolled in either a College or Trade School. Successful completion of their High School work, enrollment in college or trade school, and an essay are the only criteria for consideration for the scholarship funds.
