After School and Unattended Youth Enrichment Programs
  • We will award grants to community providers that offer programs during non-school hours. Grants will be funded through an RFP process with a preference for:

    • Recreational Evening Activities (such as night basketball and “youth cafes”)

    • Mentoring and Leadership Programs (such as matching an Englewood youth with a local banker that grew up in the community)

    • Educational Enrichment Activities (such as academics, arts, life skills and/or vocational skills)

    • Expansion of existing youth programs that provide activities for youth (such as Teen REACH)
