Grade Pre-K to Grade 5 Afterschool Nutrition and Wellbeing Program

What problem would you like to solve?

There are not a lot of afterschool programs targeted to pre-K - Grade 5 and their families, some of whom are struggling with nutrition and emotional wellbeing.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Students need more time to get tutoring on their academic skills and trained on other areas such as the arts, nutrition, and emotional wellbeing.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

We need to create a strong lower grade afterschool programs that focus on very young children and their families with targeted programming for arts, nutrition and mental health training.

Who would that help?

It would help students and families in our area, many of which cannot work without this extra support and information.

What neighborhood would benefit from your idea?
