The Douglas County 21st Century After School Program provides a variety of enrichment activities that are not otherwise available to all Douglas County Schools students. The program helps promote academic achievement as well as enrich the overall growth and potential of the whole child. We will offer a variety of engaging activities to increase family engagement and promote a positive culture for learning in the home. 

Each grant site provides students with a wide variety of after school activities such as academic tutoring, homework assistance, academic enrichment sessions, and cultural/fine arts, technological and character education. The program also provides students with opportunities to participate in summer camp and field trips and to listen to speakers on topics such as life skills, academic motivation, college and career prospects, drug awareness, conflict resolution, and violence/gang prevention. All students receive a daily snack and are provided with transportation home each day. Strong emphasis is placed on intensive academic tutoring, remediation, acceleration, and enrichment activities.
