I enjoyed listening to this clip. What a wonderful grant they were provided...money for 5 years and beyond, that's fantastic! I really appreciated Caryn highlighting that the program focuses on character building. I've always felt that this was an important aspect to after-school programs. During the day students don't always have concentrated time to develop social and emotional skills that instill self-respect and respect for others. Character building is so important and becoming a lost skill in my opinion especially since schools in the U.S. are and have been hyper-focused on testing the past decade or so.
