When the bell rings at the end of a school day, millions of children are left to their own devices while they wait for their families to return home at the end of the work day. Findings from a study by the Afterschool Alliance, “America After 3PM,” show that 15.1 million children are unsupervised when the school day ends. Target Excellence has a proven solution for this problem and invites the community to be a part of this solution.
Empowering Possibilities Unlimited receives ASES (After School Education and Safety) funds to provide after school programming to nearly 1,500 K-12 students each day in fourteen sites in the greater Sacramento region. After school programs keep kids safe, inspire learning, and help working families. |
By offering kids a positive alternative to unsupervised care between the hours of 3PM and 6PM, Empowering Possibilities Unlimited ensures that the after school experience is fun and well rounded, consisting of a large variety of enrichment activities. We partner with each school to provide a high quality program designed to engage students, families, and communities to achieve at a high level both in and out of the classroom.
