Thea Bowman House Mission:
Our mission is to provide a safe, nurturing environment to enable culturally diverse children and families achieve their full potential. The foundation of which Thea Bowman House is built is Agape, unconditional love.

Thea Bowman House History:
Our organization has been serving low-income, at-risk children and families in and around the city of Utica for many years. We provide quality care to some of our community's most vulnerable children and youth in the hope of breaking the cycle of poverty through a structured program of educational and social enrichment.

We began in 1986 as Agape House, an after school program for latch key children in the west Utica area, and continued to expand our programs, becoming Thea Bowman House in 1996.  Today we operate out of two sites in the city of Utica, one at 731 Lafayette Street and the other at the former St. Francis de Sales School at 309 Genesee Street.  We currently serve over 300 children ages 18 months through 18 years.
