Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
DESIGNED TO ENGAGE STUDENTS IN A HIGH-QUALITY, OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME PROGRAM, NEIGHBORHOOD FOCUS IS ORGANIZED TO HELP STUDENTS STAY ON THE PATHWAY TO HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION AND LIFE SUCCESS. OUR PROGRAMS SEEK TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS (1) TRANSITION SUCCESSFULLY INTO AND OUT OF THE VARIOUS LEVELS OF SCHOOL AND ARE PREPARED FOR ACADEMIC SUCCESS, (2) REMAIN ACTIVELY ENGAGED IN A STRUCTURED, RELATIONAL CHARACTER EDUCATION AND DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM, AND (3) DEVELOP THE NECESSARY SOCIAL, EMOTIONAL AND LIFE SKILLS THAT THE NEXT GENERATION NEEDS TO ACHIEVE PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS. AS THE ONLY FREE, FAITH-BASED OUT-OF-SCHOOL TIME PROGRAM EQUIPPED TO SERVE THE HISPANIC STUDENT POPULATION IN THE CHALLENGING WHITE HORSE ROAD CORRIDOR OF GREENVILLE, NEIGHBORHOOD FOCUS EMPLOYS A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO PROVIDE ACCESS TO HIGH-QUALITY EXPANDED LEARNING PROGRAMS, REDUCE RISKY ADOLESCENT BEHAVIORS, AND DEVELOP STUDENTS' POST-SECONDARY SKILLS FOR CAREER AND LIFE SUCCESS. HISTORICALLY, NEIGHBORHOOD FOCUS PRIMARILY SERVED ELEMENTARY-AGED STUDENTS. TO HELP ADDRESS AN UNMET NEED IN THE COMMUNITY TO PROVIDE QUALITY PROGRAMS DESIGNED SPECIFICALLY FOR MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS AS WELL, WE EXPANDED OUR PROGRAM OFFERINGS OVER RECENT YEARS TO INCLUDE SEPARATE BUT SIMILAR PROGRAMS FOR ELEMENTARY AGE CHILDREN (CALLED LAUNCH) AND MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS (CALLED ACCELERATE).

ORGANIZED RECREATION, GROUP ACTIVITIES, FAMILY DEVOTION TIME AND A HOT MEAL ARE PROVIDED THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL YEAR TO ALL PARTICIPANTS. SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM IS AN IMMERSIVE DAY CAMP THAT OPERATES OVER 8 WEEKS FROM MID-JUNE TO EARLY AUGUST. THE HIGHLY STRUCTURED, HOLISTIC PROGRAM, LED IN PART AND SUPPORTED BY LOCALLY-BASED ADOLESCENT AND YOUNG ADULTS THAT HAVE BEEN POSITIVELY IMPACTED BY NEIGHBORHOOD FOCUS IS A COMBINATION OF VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL AND ACADEMIC ENRICHMENT PROGRAMS DESIGNED TO OFFSET THE SUMMER LEARNING SLIDE THROUGH AN EMPHASIS ON STEAM LEARNING, CHARACTER EDUCATION AND PERSONAL DISCIPLESHIP.
