Project for Neighborhood Aftercare
Programs
Description
Each child participates in at least one hour of homework/tutoring assistance. Because of our low student to staff ratio, we are able to provide small group and often one on one tutoring. We also encourage peer tutoring. Our mentor program matches children with adult mentors who spend at least one hour per week with the child. This time is spent playing educational games, reading, creating artwork and encouraging the child to set achievable academic and life goals.

A pillar of PNA is to provide enriching activities to our students. From horticulture, to STEM, journaling, dance, music lessons, and sports classes the children are able to associate learning with fun. We also desire to expose them to many activities in an effort to break down perceived boundaries and highlight individual talents. Enrichment activities vary from site to site based on the volunteers, student interest, and schedule.

Description
At one time, PNA had funding for field trips under a LEAPs grant through the Tennessee Department of Education. Each student participated in at least two field trips per year. They attended art exhibits at the Frist Center and visited the Country Music Hall of Fame. Other field trips included a special Holiday Celebration at the Elks Lodge, Disney World, the Adventure Science Center, local universities and the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular. Our field trips provide cultural enrichment, art and science education, but most importantly, break down perceived boundaries. Many of these students have never left their neighborhood. It is our goal to provide them with as much exposure to the world beyond their backyard as possible. Around 1,100 students partcipated in our field trips. Current funding does not allow for the provision of field trips.
