Why an After School Program?

​

• Because none exist in our town and because:

• Children get out of school hours before their parents are home from work- leaving them alone, vulnerable and at risk

• Negative influences in our neighborhood tempt to pull children into lives of delinquency, substance abuse, vandalism and gangs

• Kids and teens need a safe environment to experience healthy and positive influences

• Kids are below grade level and struggle to do their homework on their own, especially with limited financial resources

• Most households here do not have computers or Internet access

• Parents struggle to help their kids with their homework because the majority of them did not finish elementary school themselves or cannot read and write.
