After School Clubs

Author: Susan Campbell

Planning Unit: Anderson County CES

Major Program: 4-H Youth Development Programming

Plan of Work: Leadership Skills for Youth and Adults

Outcome: Intermediate Outcome

Child Trends Databank reports through after-school activities, children can develop social skills, improve their academic performance, and establish strong relationships with caring adults.

Anderson County Extension Service has worked with our school district to provide bus transportation to our office so youth can participate in after school clubs.  After school clubs that are offered are; Livestock, Cloverbuds, Cloverkids, Middle School, and Art with Emma. Youth are bussed to the extension office then provided a snack and then the club meetings begin at 3:30.

As we continue to battle for the perfect meeting time that benefit the most youth and parents, this has been a successful meeting time frame for us. Based on parent feedback our ending time of 5PM works great for parents to pick up youth on their way home from work and able to get the kids to their next activity.
