Mattie Rhodes Center

Can you believe it’s been 22 years? 🥳 A huge congratulations to Sabrina Harris on over two decades of amazing years with the Mattie Rhodes team. Thank you “Miss Sabrina” for your hard work and your endless energy.

What an unforgettable experience for our Soccer for Success students!

Thanks to our partnership with Quaker Oats, several youth from our Mattie Rhodes Soccer for Success after-school program had the incredible honor of serving as FIFA World Cup player escorts during the Argentina vs. Algeria and Austria vs. Algeria matches right here in Kansas City.

From walking onto the field alongside world-class athletes to experiencing the excitement of an official FIFA World Cup matchday, our students created memories that will last a lifetime.

Opportunities like these are about more than soccer—they inspire confidence, create connections, and show our youth what's possible. We are proud to partner with organizations like Quaker Oats that help make these meaningful experiences a reality.

Congratulations to all of our student participants! We can't wait to see where your journey takes you next.

A great day to be in Kansas City, especially here in the Westside!

Today, community members gathered at W Pennsylvania Avenue & Southwest Boulevard for the ribbon cutting and unveiling of Las Tarascas. This beautiful art installation, gifted from our sister city of Morelia, Michoacán, celebrates the rich culture, heritage, and connections that make our community so special.

Thank you to Fourth District Councilmembers Rea and Bunch, KCMO Public Works Department, the Westside Neighborhood Association, local businesses, and all community partners who helped make this project possible.
