School
Outreach Services
School Outreach
Services puts the core YMCA Character Values into practice through
quality and innovative before and after-school programs that inspire youth
to realize their fullest potential spiritually, mentally and
physically. Unsupervised youth are
at greater risk of experimenting with drugs, engaging in sexual activity,
and committing crimes during the critical hours before their parents return
home from work. Our programs keep
those students off the streets by offering academic assistance and personal
development activities that are both enriching and enjoyable.
School Outreach Services seeks to empower youth
to achieve their goals and positively impact the world. Our comprehensive before and after-school outreach program provides
opportunities in the areas of prevention education, academic assistance,
arts, and recreation for youth throughout San Diego County.
Each school outreach before/after-school program is uniquely designed to
meet the needs of the youth who participate at that site. We work with each
school’s administration to customize an after-school program that
attracts and engages a wide range of students. All programs are free to program
participants. Some of the major
program services include:
·
Academic Assistance & Support
·
Club Activities
·
PRYDE Prevention Education Curriculum
·
Community Service-Learning Projects
·
Field Trips
·
Special Events
