school age children spend 70% of their waking hours out of school
let's keep kids safe after school.
The key to a child's education is more than just learning in the classroom. What happens after school makes the difference in a childs success. After school programs provide safe havens for children to relax & study. Trips provide fun & meaningful experiences. A summer at one of our camps energizes a school year.

BFF, Bonding 4 our Future: Mentorships
Mentoring is the heart and soul of all our programs, and the underlying mission of all our volunteers and employees. Whether someone is the cook at camp or the director of school placement, his mission is to take a personal interest in the success of each individual child.
Our mentors keep in close contact with our children. They get to know their parents and siblings, and often become valued friends of the family. If a mentor encounters a situation with which he needs assistance, our experienced educational and outreach directors are available 24 hours a day for consultation.

CHILLZONE: Extracurricular Programing
Kids need fun! The question has always been, what kind of fun? We make sure that it's exciting and action-packed while being safe and wholesome as well. The unscheduled downtime of long weekends can be a dangerous time for kids who are likely to become involved in risky activities. On the other hand, those same unstructured hours can provide the perfect opportunity to explore talents, expand their social network, review the weeks lessons and experience success.
The ChillZone weekly program ensures that our children have the opportunity to use "spare time" in the best ways possible. Pizza, prizes, entertainment and trips make these hours exciting, but it's the chance to just hang out with older mentors that keeps kids coming back week after week. With over 20 locations in cities across the country, and additional locations being added, ChillZone's network keeps growing.

BOOK BUDDIES: After School Learning
Children often need personal attention and one-on-one assistance to overcome the ordinary learning challenges that every child faces. With a Book Buddy of their own, each child is given just the right amount of TLC for them to really flourish. With a weekly study plan that is individualized for each pair of Buddies, they can choose to focus on a subject that is best-suited for them. Whether it's simply reviewing the material they covered in school or learning something new, each pair of Book Buddies has a curriculum designed just for them.
The Book Buddies program also gives children a chance to earn cool prizes by rewarding their effort and progress, giving the kids a fun incentive to put their all into their work. Because every child has a unique learning style, every child can benefit from their own Book Buddy.
