Homework

Our goal during homework time is to give the children time. to complete their homework so they have more free-time to spend at home with their parents!

Enrichment

Our enrichment classes are focused on building the kids character first. They achieve small victories that grow their confidence in learning and doing each skill set before them.

Mentorship

Our Youth Mentors teach core values and manners. As a martial arts based organization we teach the importance of respect; respecting themselves, their families, and others.
"Enriching the lives of youths by introducing them them to art, music, and cultural programs that build character, self-esteem, and spirit."
Since 2009, our Youth Mentorship Program (YMP) has been a cultural enrichment program changing the way parents view after-school care. We aim to build a team around your child that will allow them to continue their growth in a safe, friendly and welcoming environment. Our team consists of our staff, the teachers, and most importantly YOU, the parents. We believe that together, we will give your children the confidence and courage they need to continue to move forward and progress in their learning.

We Are More Than Just an After-School Program,
We Are a Family

The most important part about out Youth Mentorship Program is that you know your children are with people that care. We believe in putting each child on the right path for their success and we understand that each child has their own path to take. We encourage students to have a Kung Fu mindset, this means to understand and focus on your journey and to not compare your progress to anyone else's. Our staff openly communicate with each family to fill them in on how their children are doing and what we can do to together to help each other.

When you join our Youth Mentorship Program you join our family!

Endorsements 

Three Treasures has been an invaluable program at Hage Elementary.  They have been great partners in supporting families with fantastic enrichment opportunities and homework assistance.  Three Treasures is extremely popular with our families as they provide programs that students enjoy, from Hula to Lion Dancing and more.  Students consistently rave about their experiences.  Parents have shared with me that they love the program because they have homework help and provide a balanced experience for their children after school hours.  As a Principal, I enjoy the high level of service Three Treasures has provided our community.  The program is well organized, communicates effectively, and directly gives back to our community.   I look forward to maintaining and growing this partnership for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Thank you for visiting our Youth Mentorship Program page! Enrichment programs for youths is a key component of fulfilling our Vision of helping build future community leaders.  We work closely with teachers, Principals, and parents so we may become good allies for the parents of our students. The YMP is composed of academic, cultural, and physical education that, together, give our students opportunities to practice mindfulness.  We are currently located in six schools: Barnard, Hage, Crown Point, Sandburg, Ericson, and Salk. We also pick up kids from Hickman Elementary and transport them to our Salk location. Our middle school program is held at our community center. 

Each day of our program has  different enrichment classes. We can customize things to fit around other activities that your child may be in.  

Is Our Program Right For Your Child?
We will not accept your child without first meeting with you in person. We will go over our curriculum and teaching style to see if it works for your child.  Please note we are not a licensed child care provider. While our staff are FBI fingerprinted and CPR certified, there are limitations to our program. If you need a licensed child care provider, we suggest Character Builders, Klassic Kids, or other long standing programs that may be available in your school.  While our staff are patient and compassionate, they are not trained to handle children with  chronic behavioral  problems or those with health issues beyond our scope of training. The YMP is a structured environment where homework is expected to be completed and real lessons are taught. 

What Are A La Carte Classes?
These are classes that go into greater detail than in the Youth Mentorship Program. The classes in the YMP are designed to change periodically so we may expose the students to more activities. A la carte classes are great for students who do not need to dabble and know exactly what they want to learn.  These are taught right after school in a different room from the YMP and generally run 60 to 90 minutes depending on the subject.  They are a separate cost and your child does not need to be in our YMP to take an a la carte class. 

What Are Your Fees?
Our hours and fees vary between the different sites we are in.  Our Youth Mentorship Program runs $399 a month and includes coverage for minimum days and months with more than 20 days of instruction (4 weeks). 

Our  a la carte fees range from $75 for more basic classes to $100 for more advance level ones. Typically, classes are divided into 6 week blocks. 

What Is In It For You?
We all pay a high price to live in beautiful San Diego. Oftentimes, both parents have to work to make ends meet. This leaves a cavernous hole to fill in raising your child. That's where we come in.  We are unparalleled in how much support offered to parents. From Parents Night Out to telling your child to eat their vegetables, we become your ally.  We help ease that guilt you feel for not being able to spend as much time with your child as you would like. While they are with us, not only will they be loved but their homework will be done and we are helping teach family values. Our YMP is structured to save you money in the long haul. If you individually priced out each of our programs, the total fees would near almost $1000 a month plus the cost of driving your child around town to get to those lessons. It is uncommon to find high quality lessons packaged into one program.
