Abstract:
DASH to the future! DASH- Destiny After School Haven, is a high-quality after-school program that complements and broadens a student’s educational experiences by offering homework assistance, tutoring, stimulating activities, and support to their families. DASH expects to positively impact the children in the 4th and 9th grade by helping them increase the following: reading and basic math skills, interests in arts, science and technology, social interaction skills through character development education, confidence through improved academic performance, self-esteem through positive adult reinforcement, and ultimately chances for future success by emphasizing our belief in their personal purpose and destiny. DASH will also encourage and facilitate increased parental involvement in their children’s academic performance.
