Why
we love what we do!
"Research indicates that children who
attend high quality [after school] programs
have better peer relations, emotional adjustment,
conflict-resolution skills, grades, and
conduct in school compared to their peers
who are not in after school programs."
(National Institute on Out-of-School Time)
"Qualitative studies have also shown
that positive social relationships can create
powerful incentives for students to come
to school, even those who report that school
work is difficult and expectations are hard
to meet." (Dropping Out of High School
Lee & Burkam, University of Michigan)
Our Specialty!
We provide academic assistance and enrichment
opportunities for students in grades 6-8

development we provide helps students achieve
in school and
in the community.
Why we are unique!
We provide in-school and after-school programs
that are in alignment with local & national
