Full Service Schools Grant

This year makes our fifth grant with Full Service Schools. 2010/2011 Total Grant Amount; $6,000.
Partial funding to help pay for our after school enrichment program.

About our program: We service children in many of the Arlington schools. Tutoring, homework help, reading lab, science club, dance, private guitar and keyboard lessons, life management skills and chorus are on this years slate of enrichment activities, and 'Store' where children are awarded for their diligence, ingenuity and character.

Some of our enrichment activities over the past four years have included fishing and cooking club, crochet class and computer class. We change out our enrichment activities yearly. We have an excellent working relationship with Jacksonville University who partners with us in tutoring and mentoring the children and youth.

 

Jacksonville Children's Commission
Summer Camp Program $32,000

 

Each Summer we partner with the Jacksonville Children's Commission to provide Summer Camp for children at risk and in need. Our Summer Adventures camp is designed to capture the excitement of youth as we take our children on a six week adventure challenging them in areas of education, career planning, family issues, peer pressure, and of course, all manner of outdoor activities including fishing, hiking, boating, sports, geocaching, and field trips. Our partnership with the Jacksonville Children's Commission allows us to serve a large number of children who would ordinarily not be able to a quality summer camp experience.

 

We were proud to have had the number one rated summer camp application for 2009, 2010 and 2011 and have received an "Excellent" rating for our camp since we began offering summer camp. We were also exclusively highlighted by the city of Jacksonville during the National Day of Summer Learning in 2009, 2010 and 2011 which focused largely on our "Science is Cool" enrichment class. Pictures from our camp were used in the JCC summercamp presentation presented to funders for the summer camp programs in the city of Jacksonville. Our camp is a picture of the demographically diverse area we serve. We are proud of our social, ethnic and economic diversity. We also partnered with The Bridge of Northeast Florida with their Bridgeworks Summer Internship program which integrated wonderfully with our program.
