Activity Learning

The U.S. Census Bureau Reports
that children involved in activity learning have a higher level of engagement in school.
So to give our mentees the best chance at success, we’ve integrated activity learning into our services. We offer group events and activities such as hiking, financial literacy, cooking, surfing, music, games, and the (ever popular!) video games.
Summer 2023:
Financial Literacy Course
We have partnered with Citizens Business Bank to provide financial literacy education to our mentees. Education can lead to more responsible financial management, empowering young people to make wiser decisions about debt, savings, credit, and investing.
The course theme is:
Like football, successful financial management requires strategy, discipline, and endurance
The program is designed like an interactive video game to help students test their knowledge in a fun, competitive learning environment.
