Wesley’s after school and summer youth program focuses on academic performance, healthy living, enrichment activities, and social awareness such as decision making and social skills.<\/h3>\n

The youth of the Near Northside face overwhelming challenges toward becoming well-adjusted adults, including poverty, substandard education, a lack of available and affordable enrichment opportunities, and a culture that values subsistence work over education.<\/p>\n

In addition, the prevalence of drugs, gangs, crime, violence, and teen pregnancy continue to threaten the safety and development of these youth on a daily basis. Their parents are often ill equipped to deal with their academic and behavioral needs due to language barriers and a lack of familiarity with the school system.<\/p>\n

Wesley Community Center’s program for middle school youth responds to these needs by supporting academic development, enhancing social and personal skills, increasing their community involvement, and providing a safe haven during the after-school hours.<\/p>\n
