Many children go unsupervised afterschool without opportunities for positive activities.
This funding will help Delaware child outreach programs create a positive, supervised atmosphere for our children to learn and grow. The centers will provide learning opportunities in before school, after-school and summer programs that address academic, recreational, health, cultural and child care needs. Saturday programs will provide tutoring by high school students, club activities, immunizations, health services, and expanded library hours. This program serves 200 students and 100 families annually. Castle is a long-time supporter of afterschool programs.
