Aim
The goal of our program is to foster a safe and fun after-school program for low-income students who may not be able to afford a typical after-school program.

Program
Through our STEM-based curriculum, students explore a wide range of real-world topics and issues while working on increasing reading proficiency.

During meetings, students work with volunteers on various icebreaker, reading, and STEM-based activities. Students receive leadership points during each meeting for representing the qualities of being a good leader. At the end of the session, the students with the most amount of points will get to pie a volunteer in the face.

Program Facts:
  • Individual chapters are run by high school students
  • 1-2 chapter leaders per club
  • 1:5 volunteer to student ratio
  • Free book and snacks during each meeting
  • Built-in homework time
