Project Title: Jenkins’ All-Stars: Academic and Athletic Afterschool Program
Project Description:
Jenkins Athletic Club (JAC) requests a grant of $10,000 to support the Jenkins’ All-Stars: Academic and Athletic Afterschool Program, aimed at providing disadvantaged students in grades 3-5 with academic support and athletic instruction. Our program is designed to create a positive impact on academic performance, health, and social skills by combining educational tutoring with basketball training.
The key components of the program include:
• Academic Education: Certified teachers will provide targeted learning in essential skills in reading and math.
• Tutoring Services: One-on-one support to address individual student needs.
• Homework Support: Guided assistance to encourage consistent study habits.
• Basketball Education: Coaches teach basketball skills, emphasizing teamwork and discipline.
This integrated approach addresses both mind and body, encouraging a well-rounded education that translates into real-life success.
Project Objectives:
• To improve literacy and numeracy among participants.
• To increase homework completion rates and understanding of educational material.
• To cultivate a love for learning and an active lifestyle.
• To support students in developing life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and leadership.
Needs Statement:
Many students in our community lack access to quality after-school programs due to financial constraints. Without constructive activities, they are at risk for academic underperformance and limited physical exercise. The JAC After School Program aims to bridge this gap, providing both academic and physical education.
Project Timeline:
The program will operate Monday through Friday, from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m., throughout the academic year.
The Jenkins Athletic Club is committed to the success of our youth. This grant of $10,000 will enable us to fully realize our After School Program’s vision, making a lifelong difference in the lives of the children we serve. We thank you for your consideration.
