Project Title: After School Program
Project Description:

The Westside’s After School Program (ASP) provides a safe place that serves at-risk youth. Students come to escape the stresses they face on a daily basis, receive academic help from tutors, and enjoy a meal twice a week. The ASP schedule is: Monday and Wednesday from 3:15 to 7:00 PM for middle school, and Tuesday and Thursday from 3:15 to 5:30 PM for high school. When students arrive at the ASP, they report what homework they have to complete and fil out a grade check. Homework/tutoring time takes place from 4-5 PM, and dinner is served from 5-5:30 PM. On Mondays and Wednesdays, our middle school students head to their chosen electives until 7 PM. In the 2023-2024 school year we served 98 students. Grant funds would be used for overall project funding, including supplies, personnel, food, activities, and more. Grant funding will significantly enhance the After School Program by expanding our reach, improving the quality of resources, and introducing new, impactful elements.

Total Project Budget: $101,648.00
