The After School Advantage Program provides twenty-five (25) youth (ages 5-18) with access to computers and technology, academic tutoring, various music, dance and art classes, Monday-Friday, from the hours of 2-7pm.

Our after school program also offers local high school youth the opportunity to complete their volunteer hours for graduation requirements.

This class serves as an artistic platform for self expression and grief expression and can be utilized in conjunction with The Art of Creative Writing and Lyrical Expression, as many of the kids will create a pseudonym and will want to make it "come alive" visually through their music.
Although the class is art based, writing activities and verbal expression will be incorporated, where the students can describe their creative works by writing and presenting to their peers, when the situation presents itself. Each student will have his or her own "visual journal" in which they can draw and/or write about anything they choose, which often leads to a positive and safe outlet for expression.

This is a life-readiness model that exposes youth to digital arts and merchandising operations while creating a pipeline toward a sustainable revenue source for our agency and teenagers as they transition into adulthood.
