MS-After School Program

Funding Source

City of Columbus

Overview

The MS-After School Program is an initiative funded by the City of Columbus designed to provide essential academic support and enrichment activities to middle school students, particularly those from immigrant and refugee backgrounds. Our goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where students can thrive academically and personally.

Program Objectives

• Academic Support: Offer tutoring and homework assistance to help students improve their grades and develop effective study habits.

• Enrichment Activities: Provide engaging programs that foster creativity, critical thinking, and social skills through arts, sports, and community service projects.

• Safe Environment: Ensure a secure and welcoming space for students after school hours, allowing parents to work or attend to other responsibilities with peace of mind.

• Community Engagement: Encourage active participation from families and community members to strengthen ties and support student success.

Impact

The MS-After School Program has already made significant strides in the community. By addressing the unique challenges faced by our students, we aim to enhance their educational experience, boost their confidence, and promote lifelong learning. Our program not only supports academic achievement but also empowers students to become engaged members of their communities.
