CommUNITy Scholars After School Program

One of the program initiatives of West End Community Foundation, Inc., is the CommUNITY ScholarsAfter School Program. The mission of this program is to offer free after-school services to Kindergartenthrough seventh grade West End Community students. Some of the students who need the program would not be able to attend if we charged a fee because many of them qualify for free and reduced lunches. Our goals are to produce students who master life skills taught during the school day, excel in reading and are proficient in math. Moreover, we strive to produce students who are responsible for their own learning process. Strategies to achieving our goals include providing mentoring, specialized tutoring, reading challenges, assistance in boosting End-Of-Grade testing scores, school supplies, daily snacks, enrichment activities and field trips.
