City of Warwick - After School Program |
|
| Amount Requested: $ 500,000 |
|
| This funding will help expand existing after-school programs for all grade levels in Warwick. An increasing number of children, especially those in low-income neighborhoods, need meaningful activities during out-of-school hours. After-school programs enhance the lives of our community’s youth, keep them from harm’s way, and have been proven to improve academic performance and reduce juvenile truancy and crime. These programs are as individual as the schools they serve, giving children the opportunity to enjoy art, athletics, science, technology, theatre, homework help, and dance. |
