I tutor with the Inner City Ministries program and I am so amazed with the quality of this after school program. 50-60 students arrive at the church everyday, and from the time they arrive until the time they leave they are involved in enriching activities for body, mind, and spirit. The students range in ages from kindergarten to 8th grade, though there are many more elementary students than middle school students. Each day consists of: snack time, physical activity and play, homework time (with assistance from volunteer tutors) , reading time, and art. The program runs Monday through Thursday and Fridays are fun-days; there is no tutoring or homework but instead there are special activities or trips (such as a sewing class, a dance lesson, science project, etc.). The kids are so wonderful, full of personality and so loving. Without this program it would be more difficult for the students to succeed in school . The program is also well stocked with plenty of resources, books, toys, and more, and the atmosphere is cheerful and promotes learning and good citizenship. I could go on and on about this incredible program! read more
