Program Center: Union 6th and 7th Grade Center

Grades Served: 6 - 7

Program Type: Expand Afterschool and Summer

Program Abstract: The transition from elementary to middle school is already a difficult one and doing so amid a global pandemic created unique challenges for these students. We will use middle-school approved strategies that focus on improving student behavior and social and emotional well-being. While middle school students have newfound independence and crave the autonomy, many still require structure. Our programs will provide a good balance of both so students can go at their own pace. Students will be immersed in extracurricular experiences that focus on building skills, knowledge, and interests. Instructors will incorporate developmentally appropriate, active learning strategies that fully engage students: hands-on activities, group projects, physical movement, and meaningful discussions that give students a chance to voice their opinions. There will also be time for self-reflection, so students have time to process their thoughts and growth. We will target at-risk students and students who have been most significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We believe that providing these students with a robust offering of enriching and hands-on experiences after-school will be beneficial to their social and emotional well-being, thus positively impacting their school behavior and attendance.
