After School Program
The Center’s Expanded Learning program serves upwards of 150 students K-8 in either after school programing, tutoring, after school sports, after school enrichment classes & more !
Our Expanded Learning Program involves collaboration among parents, youth, representatives from schools and governmental agencies, such as local law enforcement, and individuals from community-based organizations and the private sector. Programs are created through partnerships between schools and local community resources to provide students with safe, constructive opportunities for academic support and enrichment activities.
Applications:
Please note that the application's for Summer Matters and the School Year Application look very similar. One application is needed per student every year. (Applications do not roll over)
While we strive for enrollment into our Expanded Learning After School Program, we take into account our current staffing and space limitations on site. Guaranteed admittance to program will take place given that there is an allotted staff member to support our ratio of 1 staff to 20 students and a classroom space on campus.
