Our programs foster leadership skills, our teachers build strong relationships with their students, and our students love to come to our programs.

We are proud of our Program enrollment & consistent attendance!

Each school program site has reported that our programs have the highest and most consistent attendance of all participating enrichment programs in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District’s Extended Learning after-school program.

In all of our programs we foster Strong Leadership Skills

Our program surveys show improvement in participants’ attitudes, self-esteem, goal setting, and academic involvement.
Our program surveys document student growth in:
Feeling confident speaking up in school classes
  Recognizing and appreciating personal talents and strengths
  Making choices in the present to protect their future
  Creating art with confidence and imagination
  Understanding that large goals and dreams take many small steps

In our Art Teach program we cultivate Academic Growth

We compared GPA’s from first and second semester. We were curious to see if, through the Art Teach experience, students were able to value school more deeply, to see it as a tool for their future, and to work harder to improve their grades. There are many factors that affect student grade achievement but it is fascinating to see that:
70% of the students’ second semester grades either improved or remained the same from their first semester grades!
