Change started with me last year...
...when I decided to attend an after school program at Baden Street Settlement instead of going straight home after school. Now, I'm able to learn about how things work in the electronic lab and getting help with my homework, which has helped me become a straight-A student.
School Age Youth
Help ensure that our students have the tools and support they need to improve their success in school. Children who receive consistent, nurturing caretaking are more likely to function well in school, develop positive peer relationships and behave appropriately. United Way is funding After School and Summer Enrichment Programs to channel kids’ out-of-school time toward positive activities, Mentoring Programs to increase attendance and improve relationships, and Early Intervention Programs to reduce problem behaviors. Your donations to the Community Fund help make sure every student in our community will be prepared for life ahead.
