The J. L. King Center has served the Starkville and Oktibbeha County community for over 50 years.
With the generous support of donors, volunteers, and partners, the J.L. King Community Center serves hundreds of youth and adults in our equitable and rigorous educational after-school program, and adult courses on financial fitness, employability, and increasing personal savings.
We are committed to providing pathways to prosperity.
Sponsor a Camper
Every summer, the J.L. King Center runs a free 6-week summer camp. Our campers participate in dozens of activities organized by our youth coordinator, Margaret Brown, and her many community partners. On average the cost of summer camp is $10,000.
Each camp day, campers receive breakfast, lunch and a snack. Campers participate in various crafts and activities supplied by the center and end the summer with a field trip. In 2024, Campers visited the McWane Science Center in Birmingham, Alabama. Students are transported by charter bus and provided a meal, buffet style, at Golden Corral.
Our FREE summer camp is a MAJOR need in the community and the kids love it! Help us keep summer fun for our youth, DONATE TODAY!
