Summary


​After School Program 

During the school year children are given a place to go two times a week after school.  The program currently has 50 children, but is hoping to expand very soon. The program is split into two groups of 25 children. There are tutors available to tutor the children, meals and van transportation are provided. 

Summer Camp Program 

Summer Day Camp is provided for children during the out of school time.  The summer camp focuses on academics, and also creates team building activities to help the children grow. Field trips and "fun days" are a significant part of the summer curriculum. 

N-Touch Ready to Work and Job and Life Skills Program

The N-Touch program is for youth (13 and older) who are currently in the program, or have been through the program. These youth meet twice a month to discuss job and life skills, building a resume, how to communicate, how to perform a strong hand shake, interpersonal skills, etc. This program also provides academic support to improve their grades, and maintain good grades, in order to stay "employed" with the program. The students have the opportunity to apply for a Peer Mentor staff position, to work with the RACS+ children.
