Overview

Mission

To provide a complete hands-on successful after school development program for at-risk youth that will improve academic performance, character, and the future of our youth and the community.

What it reported doing in 2024

After school development program developed for at-risk youth between the ages of 8-18 in the baltimore, Maryland area, the program provides guidance and support for academic performance, character building, and monitoring school development. The after school program has the following three components: 1. Education: the education component involves academic success that is academic tutoring and keeping in close contact with individual teachers and parents/guardians to ensure the success of each student. Preparation for college is emphasized through assistance in completing college application forms and financial aid forms (i.e. Loans, grants, and scholarships), researching potential college choices, preparing for the sat, and attending field trips to colleges and college fairs. 2. Community service program: involves youth volunteering two times per week with pediatric patients whom have various disabilities. The value of giving back to the community emphasizes the name of the organization and sets the cornerstone of every person's foundation that completes the program. 3. Athletic program: the athletic portion of our program emphasizes developing goals, teamwork, and a strong work ethic through participation on competitive basketball teams. The teams are involved in routine practices, clinics, individual games, leagues, and tournaments. Our program follows the academic calendar with a summer program offered during the summer months. Our base site of operations is the salvation army middle river boys and girls club and middle river middle school. We provide youth transportation to and from program activities.
