At the After School Program our goal is to aide children ages 6-15 in the development of their character through educational and recreational activities. The program provides a fun and supportive place for youth to gain social skills, create lasting friendships and receive the skills necessary to succeed in the future.

Daily Activities Include:

  • A healthy snack
  • Academic curriculum
  • Homework help
  • Cooperative Game time
  • Special projects
  • Computer lab time

 

What can you do?

 At the After School Program we need help with the following:

  • General assistance with overall operation of the daily activities
  • Positive Adult Role Models and Mentors
  • One-on-One homework help including working with students on remedial math and reading skills
  • Overseeing and implementing games and/or activities for gym time
  • Presenting a craft or specific skill set to the kids in a special activity
  • Preparing healthy snacks
