After School Programs
Today, millions of children return to an empty home after school. When the school bell rings, the anxiety for parents often just begins. They worry about whether their children are safe, whether they are susceptible to drugs and crime. In response to this pressing concern, some of our communities have created after-school programs to keep children and youth
out of trouble and engaged in activities that help them learn. After-school programs provide a wide array of benefits to children, their families, schools, and the whole community.
