Tribe One After-School Program

The Tribe One After-School Program provides a safe and structured place for elementary school students to come during after-school hours. The goal of the program is to engage “at-risk” minority youth in academics, art, the environment, and physical, mental, and spiritual health. In addition to receiving tutoring in reading and math, participants in the Tribe One After-School Program explore their creativity through art and dance workshops, learn about health, nutrition, and cooking, and engage with the environment through Tribe One’s Urban Garden. The after-school program serves children in grades 1 through 5.
