Afterschool

Every school-age student who joins our Youth Club shows remarkable progress. Many perform above grade levels in Math and ELA—and those who come with unfinished learning or delays quickly catch up and excel!

Summer Program

We have some good resources for families and the community. The goal is to provide a low cost summer program to keep students occupied with learning and play. In 2026 program runs from June 15th to August 21st.

That’s why we’re excited to offer a low-cost summer program.

Activities may include soccer, basketball, dance, fitness, recreational games, and other age-appropriate sports and physical enrichment opportunities.

Our Mentorship & Life Skills program provides children and youth with supportive guidance in a safe and encouraging environment.

Through age-appropriate conversations, activities, group experiences, and positive adult relationships, students are encouraged to develop:
