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.
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 professional classroom teachers. and are not trained to handle children with chronic behavioral problems or those with health issues beyond our scope of training. In addition, if your child is very active and loves being outside, we are probably not a good fit, either. We are very much about academics and getting kids either ahead or caught up. We will work together with you to determine what is the best option for your child.
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 changed 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. For our three hour sites, the tuition will set you back $360 a month and $260 for our two hour sites. Your tuition would drop the less days and time you need us.
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 the Future of the Youth Mentorship Program?
We will be adding a seminar/GATE program for kids who are ahead of schedule and a tutoring program for those who need a little help. These two will flank the YMP and allow us to be more inclusive and serve the kids better. Our existing Homework Hour will get new muscles by way of our new Common Core training. We experimented with a coding class at Hage to much success and will be opening up that class more. We will be bringing back Math Olympiad and Abacus to further boost our math division. We hope to hold a Math Bee competition to complement our Spelling and Geography Bees, respectively. The music division will become its own department and will expand upon the ukulele as well as new instruments.
