This after-school program provides opportunities that directly benefit the academic and social needs of each student with a focus on reading, math, language arts, computer literacy, and positive self-concept.

Skills for Success activities include academic student enrichment through tutoring and computer assisted instruction, after-school high interest classes and fieldtrips, indoor and outdoor recreation, adult mentoring, and numerous educational opportunities for the surrounding community.
