Brief Description
The program is structured, providing ample time for homework help with the assistance of trained staff and several volunteer tutors, followed by an activity time where children participate in arts and crafts, drama, music and other activities that enhance academic and social skills, and encourage and build leadership, problem solving, and communication skills that they need to become future advocates and leaders in their community as they grow. A snack is provided daily at the start of the program.
