Mission Hill After School Program
|
PBHA’s Mission Hill After-School Program was created in 1983 at the request of residents of the Mission Main and Alice Taylor housing developments in Roxbury. Serving 50 children (ages 5-14) divided into four age groups, MHASP volunteers strive to provide individual attention within a classroom setting, with both homework assistance and by working with the children on a creative curriculum designed by coordinators. Additionally, optional bi-weekly field trips to museums, cultural events, and recreational facilities enhance counselor-child friendships. Counselors work with the same 1 or 2 children for the entire semester to provide the most consistent and rewarding relationship |
