PROGRAMS
This will be an after school mentoring and educational service program. It will be placed on a school’s campus from 3:00pm – 6:30pm, Monday through Friday during the normal school calendar year. The program is designed for girls 6 - 18yrs of age. The girls will already be students at the school, so they will have the chance to attend the after school program. Our organization will provide the school and parents with brochures about the programs and services, and then the parents will have the chance to sign up their child. Our programs will provide transportation to take the girls back home once the after school programs are completed. This program is a free program for students. We will be able to accommodate 40 girls every day and provide snacks for them as well. At the end of each year or semester, the young ladies will present an academic and/or artistic presentation for the parents, school’s administrators, and sponsors so that everyone will be able to see what the girls have learned. Teachers and mentors will be professional individuals who are experts in their fields and who also love children.
