After School Programs for the 21st Century

After school programs are becoming more and more important.  First of all, these programs present some fantastic opportunities for learning experiences we may not have time for during the regular school day.  Second, children keep learning even after school is over.  Third, more parents are in need of a quality, safe environment for their children between the hours of school being over for the day and the parents/caregiver getting home from work.

There are so many exciting programs that can be offered during this time.  And there are grants out there for these programs.  I really admire the After School Matters program in Chicago; it started small, but now is huge.  Some of their programs focus on the performing arts, some on culinary arts.  Some are based on science and technology.  Some are focused on "words" - aspiring young authors who love to write!  Others focus on sports.  I would love to see one in which students have the opportunity to earn their amateur radio license - here you have science, math, history, community service, communications, disaster relief .  .  .  .
Contact us to help you set up an incredible 21st century after school program at your school, your district and/ or with your community organization.

We also offer a self-paced online course, After School Programs for the 21st Century Student.  This includes online support as needed!  Register or Call Today.

Very interesting article that discusses the value of the community-based afterschool and summer programs.
