Aspire Learning ROCKS! Afterschool Program Mentor
Learning ROCKS! is an original Aspire program, serving 80 3rd-5th grade students each day after school across three sites, as well as during the six-week, full-day summer camp. The Learning ROCKS! Curriculum focuses heavily on language arts and reading, and the following three themes: academic and study skills; life-skills; and community and culture. Finally, Aspire emphasizes arts and creativity as a means of self-expression for students as well as accessing and internalizing academic content in new and meaningful ways. The Learning Links AmeriCorps Program provides a critical link across the three main aspects of a child's daily experience: at school; after school and in the summer; and at home/in the community.
