Our mission at Quest is simple - provide a safe, consistent, and free location for Schenectady's most neglected and troubled children. Quest is a community-based organization - we work very personally with the children and their families to provide food and an outlet from the everyday stress that accompanies poverty. Quest provides a safe environment, free meals, counseling, art and recreation programs that keep kids in school, out of trouble and on track for better lives. There are more than 175 Quest kids. We help the children that others turn away. Absolutely nothing at Quest costs any money - every program, meal, and time spent within Quest's walls is free.

free professional ballet, free daily meals, free arts and recreation programs.
