AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM
All of our programs offer kids a safe, nurturing place to be during after school hours.
Serves: 35 children, 4 times per week, 3 hours per day from August to May, elementary school ages (6-12).
Outcomes: Academic tutoring, computer training, counseling, core values (respect, love, responsibility, self-control, and academic excellence), and a weekly Bible study.
Located: In the Fricker Recreation Center.
Nutritious snacks donated by the community are provided during Bible study. Because of the closure of the neighborhood school in our target area, we have changed the hours of operation of our after-school programs to accommodate an extra hour bus ride experienced by many of our students. Even though the children in our after-school program live in the same neighborhood within walking distance of each other, they currently attend six different elementary schools. Our efforts have been to provide consistent nurturing, support, and encouragement to our students and families during these challenging times, as well as academic assistance.
Goals: Increase focus on improving reading skills and group sport activities and increase collaborations and partnerships.
