WMFC Teens

 

School Age Programming 9th - 12th Grade After School with WMFC teens After school program begins two weeks into the school year at West Midland Family Center. The program is K-8th grade but will also accept 9-12 grade participants. We meet at West Midland Family Center Monday through Friday after school until 6pm. We are privileged to have transportation from Bullock Creek Middle School to the program provided with parent pick up at the end of the day. Each day of after school program a snack is provided to everyone who attends. After snack the teens are allowed free time to unwind after a long day at school, and then we ask them to begin working on homework. During homework time staff roam the room and help those who have questions or struggle with their work. We also use our volunteers, when they are available, as one on one homework partners for those who require additional help. The driving force in the teen after school program is our positive curriculum. “Positive actions help to make positive thoughts and positive feelings.” With the positive action philosophy behind each activity in the program it is our goal to increase teen self esteem and build confidence within individuals. Our teens are reminded of the philosophy each day with a fifteen minute discussion stemming from our positive action curriculum. The teen after school program focuses on a new theme each week for the activity time. We try new things, take field trips, and invite guests in to share with our teens during this time period. We work to make every day different and exciting, yet we keep structure and consistency a priority. After school with our teens is an amazing experience. We learn as much from them as they do from being a part of the program. For further information on program dates, time and registration please contact our teen program director.
