Project Title: Life Sports Fitness Afterschool Tutoring for Disadvantaged Students
Project Description:

Life Sports Fitness is a tax-exempt, sports-themed youth development organization that develops and delivers high quality, fun, educational fitness programs for children. We provide school-age children with out-of-school-time (OST) youth development options in year-round programs teaching life skills and core values via sports, fitness and positive mentorship. We pride ourselves in our ability to teach, motivate, and inspire children by unleashing their potential. Afterschool programs include enrichment experiences such as golf, tennis, sailing, surfing, tutoring, and keyboarding. A typical daily schedule runs from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. and includes snack time, physical fitness, homework, and free play. Transportation from local schools is provided. The Afterschool Program at Holiday Park in Broward County, Florida serves 100 students daily. One of the enrichments available to our students is tutoring. This is especially important since Florida recently implemented more demanding education standards including rigorous content and the application of knowledge through higher-order thinking skills. These new requirements are particularly challenging for disadvantaged students. 30% of afterschool participants at our Holiday Park location (30 children) are currently on full or partial scholarship due to financial hardship. For these participants, we would like to use funding from the Hermanowski Family Foundation to provide an hour of tutoring each week for the entire 2016-2017 school year (approximately 40 weeks). Tutoring services cost $25 per hour for a certified teacher using a 4:1 student to teacher ratio; therefore we are requesting $7,500: 30 total students / 4 students per tutoring group x 1 hour per week x 40 weeks x $25 per hour.

Total Project Budget: $7,500

Other Funding
Sources For The Project (Committed & Potential): Any additional funds raised will be used to provide free group tutoring to more program participants.

Project Duration: 2016-2017 School Year (40 weeks)
Geographical Area Served: Broward County, Florida
Age Group To Be Served: School-aged Children
