Receive personal attention from caring adults
Explore new interests
Receive academic support
Develop a sense of self-efficacy

Akron After School offers:

a safe place after school to spend time with friends and mentors.
intervention in math and reading.
a healthy after-school snack.
meaningful and fun youth development.
the chance to explore new interests, such as theater, dance, art and more.
