Narrative

An educational program for African refugee and immigrant children offering After School Programming, a Saturday Program, one-on-one tutoring, mentoring, life skills, and extracurricular activities.

Our After School Program (ASP) provides academic support, one-on-one tutoring, and activity-based learning for our students. Through trained staff and volunteers, students receive personal help with their homework in all subjects. Students also learn about best practices and study habits to help them succeed in school.

Our Saturday Program provides students a blend of academics, enrichment activities, and experiential learning.

All students are enrolled in an ELL (English Language Learning) and a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) class that provide hands on learning activities as well as a place to practice classroom conduct. Students also take part in an Express Yourself class where, through open discussions, expressive arts, and projects, they explore who they are, where they are going, and develop confidence with team building exercises.
