After-School Programs

After-school programs provide a wide array of benefits to children, their families, schools, and the whole community. First and foremost, after-school programs keep children of all ages safe and out of trouble. The after-school hours are the time when juvenile crime hits its peak, but through attentive adult supervision, quality after-school programs can protect our children. After-school programs also can help to improve the academic performance of participating children. Many programs connect learning to more relaxed and enriching activities, thereby improving academic performance as well.
