After School Program

The after school hours are the peak time for juvenile crime and experimentation with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and sex. (Source: Bureau, Urban Institute Estimate, 2000) (Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, 2002)

Young people only spend 13% of their time in school. How are they spending the remaining 87% whether after school or in the summer? At PWA, through the use of best practices and curricula specifically designed to engage and challenge, young people are

  • Receiving homework assistance
  • Engaging in projects that apply their academic knowledge
  • Involving themselves community service
  • Developing leadership skills
  • Learning team building skills
    Playing sports
…and just being kids.
 
One of our major partners that enables our summer programs to succeed is The Children Defense Fund.
