Also, OCCTAC proposes to expand the Arts programming for the parents too! We would like to offer music, art and dance classes to the parents at CARR Intermediate school and engage them as much as possible in this program. CRIME PREVENTION & DIVERSION PROGRAM OCCTAC's After School Arts program prioritizes on diverting at -risk youth from negative social problems and engaging them in positive, fun, creative and artistic programs offered at our agency, as well at Willard Intermediate School. Students will be given the opportunity to take an Arts activity of their choice and attend classes any day of the week in the following disciplines: a) Music, b) Art & Technology and c) Dance, during after - school hours (M-F), and also on Saturdays! Our After- School Arts program runs every day from 3:30 pm - 8:00 pm (M-F) and on Saturdays from 9:00 am - 4:00 pm. In addition to the After School Arts Program, the youth will be provided with the opportunity to receive daily tutoring in our Learning Academy Program, and receive academic support with any subject they are struggling with academically, such as math, science, reading, etc. at school. Tutors will be available Monday through Friday during the same after school hours of operation to help our youth on any given day of the week. We also provide tutors at Willard Middle School for students that cannot come to OCCTAC. Parents - In addition to the programs offered to the youth, the parents will also be invited to participate in a weekly series of Parenting Classes focused on crime prevention, discipline strategies, communication skills, family conflict, behavioral problems, family violence and others.
