KSF’s new facility, located in South Holland, IL will be able to serve a capacity of over 100 youth. The new home of KSF will stand near the Community Center and the local High School. The new home will bring the goals of KSF into action; a place where education is valued along with recognition of strengths, talents, and abilities in art and recreation.
