MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Project for Neighborhood Aftercare is a school-based aftercare providing expanded learning opportunities to students in need.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

We provide school-based aftercare programs Homework Completion and Tutoring Each child participates in at least one hour of homework/tutoring assistance. Because of our low student to staff ratio, we are able to provide small group and often one on one tutoring. We also encourage peer tutoring. Our mentor program matches children with adult mentors who spend at least one hour per week with the child. This time is spent playing educational games, reading, creating artwork and encouraging the child to set achievable academic and life goals. Enrichment Activities A pillar of PNA is to provide enriching activities to our students. From horticulture, to STEM, journaling, dance, music lessons, and sports classes the children are able to associate learning with fun. We also desire to expose them to many activities in an effort to break down perceived boundaries and highlight individual talents. Enrichment activities vary from site to site based on the volunteers, student interest, and schedule. Nutritious Snack A nutritious snack is provided to every child daily to bridge the hunger gap between school dismissal and dinner time. We also discuss the importance of proper nutrition in relation to health with each of our students. It is our goal to ingrain healthy lifestyle choices into each child in order to prevent childhood and adult obesity. The state of Tennessee is currently ranked second overall in instances of childhood obesity.
