Our programs are offered at no cost to families and provides a positive environment for their children from the time school ends until 6:00pm every day school is in session. Our XL program is drop in at every school we have program at. 

We reinforce what our students are learning during the day school by aligning our approaches with our schools’ goals and priorities. ProYouth supports students’ growth as 21st Century Leaders. Our programs challenge students to become collaborators, critical thinkers, and leaders in their communities. Our focus is on helping our students develop and master these skills through cross-disciplinary experiences that build on their prior knowledge and make learning real, relevant and exciting. Our Project-based Learning approach offers a variety of ways for children to work collaboratively to address and solve real-world problems and create new knowledge on their own. Students have ongoing opportunities to develop and strengthen their communication skills. Our approach to collaboration reinforces this; we structure activities in a way that encourages students to work together and think together. Our Project-based Learning approach builds their capacity to review their assumptions through research and experimentation, link, decisions with consequences, and recognize how things fit together in ways that are either logical and defensible or not. 

• Literacy - The ProYouth Literacy Development Program is a targeted eight-week intervention that supports students in grades one through three who are reading below grade level. Our Literacy Aides administer pre-assessments to determine the child’s strengths and needs. Students are supported through small group intervention where they practice reading out loud, receive coaching, and engage in activities to help build comprehension.
