Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
THE AFTER-SCHOOL ENRICHMENT PROGRAM SERVED APPROXIMATELY 90 PARENTS AND CHILDREN DURING THE TWO SCHOOL YEARS 2020-2021 AND 2021-2022. THE PROGRAM'S PRIMARY OPERATION IS FROM 3:00PM - 6:30PM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR. HOWEVER, DUE TO COVID-19 WE TRANSFORMED OUR AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM INTO AN ALL-DAY ACADEMY CALLED ESSENTIAL-COVID-19 ACADEMY THAT OPERATED FROM 8:00AM - 5:30PM MONDAY - THURSDAY. THE MAINSTAY OF THE PROGRAM IS TO BECOME AN EXTENSION OF THE CLASSROOM BY PROVIDING HOMEWORK HELP AND TUTORING IN MATH AND READING. COMPUTER-BASED READING AND MATH ASSESSMENT SOFTWARE IS USED TO MEASURE AND ASSESS PROGRESS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IS ENCOURAGED THROUGH VOLUNTEERING.
THE FORGE SUMMER CLUB SERVED OVER 61 STUDENTS FOR 8 WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER. THE GOAL WAS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS A FUN EXPERIENCE, WHILE MEETING THE PRACTICAL CHILD CARE NEEDS FOR PARENTS. DAILY ACTIVITIES CONSISTED OF ORGANIZED TEAM SPORTS ACTIVITIES, ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT, CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, AND WEEKLY FIELD TRIPS. THE ACADEMIC DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES WERE DESIGNED TO HELP STUDENTS RETAIN WHAT THEY HAD LEARNED DURING THE SCHOOL YEAR.
THE FORGE ATHLETIC DISCIPLESHIP PROGRAM INCLUDES AN INTERNAL BASKETBALL LEAGUE FOR YOUTH AGES 5-10, AND THREE AAU BASKETBALL TEAMS. THE AAU TEAMS COMPETE IN LOCAL, REGIONAL, AND OUT OF TOWN TOURNAMENTS WITHIN 5 HOURS.
