Support AFTER SCHOOL
Not all parents can afford to send their children to After School or Before School. Allowing them to walk home alone and stay in an empty house or apartment unsupervised isn't a good option, especially for younger children. Not only is their safety compromised but they miss out on the opportunity to take part in all the enrichment activities offered by programs.
One solution is scholarship funds. Three major fundraisers are conducted by After School annually: the Spring Raffle, the Riversweet Fruit Sale and the Christmas Card Sale. All profits go towards producing funds to pay for the tuition of children whose families can't afford the full cost of sending their children to After School or Before School.
If you appreciate all that participating in After School or Before School does for your child and you want to help low-income families have the same opportunities for their children, then please support our fund raisers.
