The After School Enrichment Program continues to strengthen and we are really excited about 2 new programs! Our students, ages 5-13, are now learning CAD and 3D printing. With the help of community partnerships, we have the training class twice a week. The children are already learning design basics and we hope they will be ready for robotics competitions by the end of 2022.
The second program is equally important in providing the children with the best opportunities for their futures. This month, we will begin giving the children access to individual counseling sessions with a licensed psychologist.
We currently have 18 children in the program, which is a little lower than we expected after 4 students moved with their families. However, we are now able to connect parents to subsidized childcare, which will help to sustain the program. Our major challenge is transporting children from their local schools to our program and doing it in a timely enough manner that all their program time is not spent on transport. Resolving this will give us an opportunity to expand the program.
