These programs are designed to support academic achievement through homework assistance, tutoring programs, along with literacy and STEM activities. Teens are encouraged to explore college and career opportunities. We want to ensure that all Club members graduate from high school on time, ready for a post-secondary education or prepared to enter the workforce.
