Our Programs:
DARIA: STEAM Afterschool:
Dependable, Affordable, Reliable, Incredible, Afterschool
Daria was created to empower children, create confidence, and encourage academic accountability through after school care and tutoring. Providing more than supervision and snacks, DARIA will offer support and guidance for the improvement of standard educational skills, encourage students to further develop their own personal academic interests, and give children the opportunity to develop new skills while working to improve current curricular weaknesses. DARIA aims to fill a void in after school care while ensuring a higher percentage of correct responses and properly completed assignments. Daria includes hot dinner, homework check guarantee, tutoring, social emotional learning, life skills training, conflict resolution and mental health counseling.
DWIGHT: Mentoring
Dependable, Witty, Intelligent, Gentle, Hardworking, Tenacious
Dwight was created to empower children, create confidence, and encourage academic accountability through mentoring. At its most basic level, mentoring helps because it guarantees a young person that there is someone who cares about them. A child is not alone in dealing with day-to-day. Mentors provide their mentees with an experienced friend who is there to help in any number of situations. DWIGHT recognizes that nearly 18 million young Americans need or want mentoring, but only three million are in formal, high-quality mentoring relationships. That means more than 15 million young people still need mentors. That unmet need constitutes what we call the "mentoring gap." Finding mentors for 15 million children is a tremendous challenge that we are working to undertake community by community. And with each new mentoring initiative and each new collaboration between schools and businesses, we are steadily closing the gap.
DANIELLE: Summer Camp
Dynamic, Artsy, Noble, Innovative, Empowering, Lively, Lyrical, Encouraging Danielle was created to empower children, create confidence, and encourage academic accountability through summer camp. DANIELLE knows that camps help our children develop great coping strategies when they provide seven things that all children need:
• New relationships
• Self-Confidence
• A sense of independence
• To know that they are understood
