The After School Program and Summer Program will run in the hours after school and full days in the summer when school aged children are typically without adequate supervision. Active participation in the program activities will provide the children with little or no time to participate in inappropriate activities. The majority of juvenile crime occurs because of peer pressure and economic barriers. Involvement in the After School Program and Summer Program will help foster the traits of leadership, self-confidence, a sense of self-discipline, and a commitment to be successful. Children who demonstrate these characteristics will dramatically make a difference within their peer groups.
