• Enrollment in the After School program is continuously at or near capacity.
• Program staff encourages parental involvement in their children's academic progress, in addition to parental input in the LISTO program. The program coordinator prepares a monthly report on each student, carefully evaluating academic and behavioral/personal accomplishments or problems of the participants. She then uses these reports for assessing the needs of the children as a group, as well as in her periodic meetings with parents to review the progress of each individual child.
• Volunteers from the Association House Community Center staff and the community provide performance lessons to participants. This kind of volunteer involvement with the children is an illustration of the supportive and familial atmosphere that After School Program participants enjoy at the Community Center.
• The After School program offers underprivileged children cultural and educational field trips.
• After School program participants take part in city-wide art competitions; last year, one of our Association House children won a prize for the best work.
