The Project Promise program at Newfound Regional High School is free and open to all high school students.  Not only do we offer the students a variety of club options, but we also provide them with a productive environment that can enhance both their social and academic experiences. Our goal is to create a safe place that fosters youth voice and excitement among our participants. We also seek to help our students transition from high school to beyond graduation and to give students opportunities to be leaders and mentors. We work to maintain this positive atmosphere by providing engaging activities that promote positive self-growth in our students. 

After-school programming is offered Monday through Friday from 3:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. Some clubs we currently offer are Anything STEAM Club, Cooking Club, Fitness Club, and  Gaming Club. Our goal is not only to create clubs that students want, but also to offer a wide assortment of activities so that we satisfy their need for recreational, creative, and academic enrichment. 

We are excited to share that our Project Promise Afterschool Program will be heading to Acadia National Park this June for an Extended Learning Opportunity (ELO) experience!

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our community partners, this trip is becoming a reality for our students. We are proud to announce the following contributions:

• $3,000 from the New Hampshire Charitable Foundation

• $2,000 from the NH “Need to Get Outside” Grant

• Windjammer Cruises has generously donated passes for 16 participants

• The Oceanarium has donated student passes to support hands-on learning experiences

• Schoodic Institute provided a generous discount to support our program

These donations will allow our students to explore the natural beauty of Acadia, engage in meaningful outdoor education, and participate in unique, real-world learning opportunities.

We are deeply grateful for the support that makes experiences like this possible. Stay tuned for updates as we get closer to our trip!
