Featured After School Project

after school community center for students

Last updated by Chrystal90 on Thu, 07/30/2009 - 14:31.

I want to organize a community organization that helps with after school programs for those who are in poverty and are identified for at-risk. I vision a place where students can go after school for various things(examples: homework help, computer usage and training, fitness programs, nutrition programs, music lessons, dance lessons, career education, work training, counseling, game rooms to keep them off the street, movie nights, teacher volunteers to help students, and etc..,) Our community is very small, a poverty stricken area, and teens here are greatly in need of help.
