The “After School Jam” Program
operates September through June and offers many of the same
activities in the Summer
Day Camp program, except in an abbreviated fashion from 3:00
p.m. to 7:00 p.m. With game rooms, arcade games, arts and
crafts, gymnasium and multipurpose rooms located in our Youth
Embassy
Recreation Center, our aim is to provide a safe place where
kids can be kids, a safe and exciting place to have fun, a
viable alternative to the streets of Detroit.
In the Real Life Learning
Center, located next door to the Youth
Embassy Recreation Center, youth are provided access to our
computer lab with Internet access, a library,
study
hall and tutoring rooms. The Real Life Learning Center provides
a quiet place to do homework and get homework assistance. A
variety of workshops are provided throughout the year related
to computer
and financial literacy, entrepreneurship, job readiness and
other workshops to enhance life skills needed to succeed.
Tutoring
in math and reading by State of Michigan certified teachers
and homework assistance is provided in collaboration
with our educational partner, McCully’s
Educational Resource Center. Students receive focused attention
and proven teaching methods with teacher to student ratios
of 1 teacher to every 5 students.
