A good afterschool program offers a host of benefits
to children of all ages.

Safe, structured activities give kids a chance to hone
academic skills, try out new hobbies, play games and
hang out with friends.

In an age when many kids go home
and just tune in to the TV and surf
around online, often waiting for
parents to get home from work …

… after school programs offer exercise, time for
home work and a chance to play outdoors in a
supervised environment.

It’s been shown that the peak hour for juvenile crime
is between 3 pm and 4 pm, and after school programs
keep kids off the street and happily entertained.

ACADEMIC BOOST
![Page 9: How after school programs develop your child s skills](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051708/589b75361a28abdd258b6c43/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Kids pretty much always benefit from scheduled time for
homework, and afterschool programs include a block of
time just for class assignments …

… with the added benefit of staff on hand, often teachers
or tutors, to help with that tough math problem or
complex essay.

Because the programs are less formal than the regular
classroom, kids tend to feel more comfortable asking
for assistance.
![Page 12: How after school programs develop your child s skills](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051708/589b75361a28abdd258b6c43/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
More confidence in academic ability not only leads to
improved grades, but diminishes the chance that kids will
skip school, drop out or exhibit other behavioral problems.

SAFE AND SOUND
![Page 14: How after school programs develop your child s skills](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051708/589b75361a28abdd258b6c43/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
After school programs give kids a safe place to be during
the dangerous afterschool hours when parents tend to be
still at work and free time can lead to mischief or worse.
![Page 15: How after school programs develop your child s skills](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051708/589b75361a28abdd258b6c43/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Being in a supervised program lessens the likelihood
that your child will either commit or be the victim of
adolescent crime as they reach middle school.
![Page 16: How after school programs develop your child s skills](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022051708/589b75361a28abdd258b6c43/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Attendees in this type of program are significantly less
likely to engage in risky behaviors like smoking, drug
use, gang activity, theft and vandalism.

wide arrange of outside pursuits from chess and
woodworking to basketball and theater.

Kids stay active at after-school programs, burning up
extra energy on the playground or sports court.

from swimming to soccer, all of which have the super
benefit of helping kids get into great healthy living habits.

It’s not surprising that kids who attend after-school
programs have been found to have a significantly lower

With adults around to help them deal better with peer issues,
kids get some handy guidance in strategies for coping with
day-to-day problems as well as lessons on respect for others
and open-mindedness.
