The Teen Challenge After -School Learning Centers specifically target youth who: (1) are from schools that do not have after school programs, (2) have low academic performance, (3) are identified as "hard to reach," (4) are not participating in other extracurricular activities, and/or (5) are identified as victims of domestic violence, child abuse or homelessness. The Learning Center contains three components that are based on best practices. These components, supported by Teen Challenge staff as well as volunteer tutors and mentors, gives each participant the opportunity to not only succeed in school but also in life. The components include: (1) An education component that provides tutoring and homework assistance to improve school performance and behavior. Trained volunteer tutors, following a structure curriculum, provide assistance in one or more of the following subject areas: language arts, math, history, social studies, and science. Special emphasis is paced upon computer science and technology with technologically enhanced learning resources and tools. (2) An educational enrichment compenent, supported by volunteer mentors, offers opportunities for participation in recreational activities and cultural events, and perhaps just as important is the time a mentor invests in a child or young person. The activities in this component might involve art, music, sports and general recreation, church and community service, and other youth development activities based on the student's needs and interest. And finally, (3) a social formation component that incorporates community and family involvement both as partners and focal points. Services Provided include: 1) After School Care 2) Tutoring 3) Mentoring 4) Exposure to technology 5) Educational enrichment activities 6) Family building activities and 7) Leadership skills training.
