What We Provide
Academic Support
We provide daily academic support and tutoring to help students build confidence, stay on track, and achieve their educational goals. Our staff work one-on-one and in small groups to reinforce learning, support homework completion, and develop strong study skills that lead to academic success.
STEAM Enrichment
Students engage in hands-on Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math (STEAM) projects that spark creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving. Participants in our STEAM programs have reported increased interest in these subjects, reinforcing the positive impact of experiential learning.
Health & Wellness
We provide daily meals and snacks for our students, and our programming emphasizes physical activity, mental health awareness, and healthy relationships.
College & Career Preparation
Our Jubilee to College (JTC) Scholarship Program awards qualifying seniors $3,000 per year to support their higher education goals. From early exposure to college pathways to hands-on career exploration, we help students envision their futures and access the support they need to get there.
Community Service & Leadership
Through service projects and community engagement, we give students the chance to discover the impact they can have on the world around them.
Enrichment & Exploration
From our legendary annual canoe trip to dinners at Benihana's, our field trips, cultural experiences, and recreational activities expose students to new places, ideas, and possibilities.
