PROGRAMS:

1

Children's Out of School and Summer Reading Programs

We want all children of the neighborhood to succeed in life and in school. To bolster their educational experiences, we offer after school time tutoring and homework help during the school year from 3:30 – 5:00 PM on Mondays through Thursdays at 339 Gabriel. In the summer, we offer a reading program where the children read to an adult listener and write a short report about the books read. The children are given $1.00 for each book completed. The reading program hours are the same as the out of school program.

Neighborhood Outreach

Monthly neighborhood meetings are sponsored to build unity in the community and to give us opportunities to develop relationships with the parents and other care givers of our children. Each event includes a free meal, live Christian music, clothing, and seasonal items such as school supplies, Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas gifts.

Medical Support

H.I.S. BridgeBuilders-SA has established monthly vision screening. Life Choices, our partner, provides health counseling and parenting instruction. These events are free to all the neighborhood. We are planning health fairs for our residents, and we have fitness and nutrition training for the children and for interested parents.

Computer Access

We have more than 30 computers in all at our 339 Gabriel location and our 710 Arthur office. These computers are used by adults for Internet research and resume writing. The children use them to familiarize themselves with keyboarding and simple computer terms and processes.
