Our neighborhood is alive with youth who love to come to "The Friendship".

After School Program

The Friendship's After School Program, for grades K-8, provides homework assistance and tutoring in a positive, nurturing
environment. The children experience a variety of enhancement opportunities including
music, dance, community involvement, mentoring, tutoring, roller skating, homework help, field trips, computer lab, 4-H, arts and crafts, sports special field trips and more. After school membership is available at a nominal fee per session. Special events include our Simple Supper, Christmas Tree Lane, and special community events.

Leaders of Tomorrow

Service Learning - Our youth plan and implement service projects, outreaching to community partners and driving the project with their own efforts. The youth are actively involved in identifying units.  They have been involved in service learning projects for the following topics: anti-hunger, animal cruelty prevention, anti-bully, and neighborhood appreciation. As opposed to community service, service-learning's outcome is a character building experience that we hope develops civic pride and responsibility in our children. As the youth continue on their journey, they will create a page that will be assessable from this web page
