After-School Program McKinley B. Johnson Sue Johnson Chief Executive Officer Program Coordinator The St. John’s Community Development Corporation’s after school program offers enriching activities designed to enhance the educational development and self-esteem of school-age children in a safe, convenient environment. We focus on four major areas that have been proven to be the cornerstone in promoting educational and social growth: Education To reinforce school day learning by developing and integrating personalized educational supports into each child's schedule. To provide time and space for quiet study. To provide educational enrichment activities and to spark youths' curiosity and love of learning. Psychosocial Development To make available responsible and caring adults who offer support and guidance. To foster the self-worth of each child and develop their self-care skills. For adolescents, to foster an age-appropriate sense of independence, and develop the ability to resist participation in premature sexual activity, substance use, and anti-social behavior. To develop the youth's personal and interpersonal social skills, and to promote appreciation of cultural diversity. Recreation To provide recreational and physical activities to develop physical skills. To constructively channel energy pent-up after a day sitting in a classroom. To encourage participation in sports activities to help youth develop self-esteem and learn lessons about cooperation and conflict resolution. Career Awareness To provide age-appropriate job readiness training.
