BE GREAT communicates the ideas that there is the potential for greatness within every child and that all of us play a vital role in helping youth realize their dreams.
Campaign 3:00 PM
What are your kids doing after-school?
- Children are at greater risk of being victims of crime in the four hours after the end of the school day.
- Latchkey children are at a substantially higher risk for truancy, poor grades, and risky behavior, including substance abuse.
- Unsupervised youth/teens are more apt to engage in sexual activity during the hours immediately after-school.
After-school programs not only keep children safe and out of trouble, they also provide opportunities to increase learning.
