After School & Intersession Programs

Spring Forward after-school programs are held up to four days a week at six sites, serving elementary school students in the Rock Island-Milan School District. Activities include an after-school snack, homework help, instruction and enrichment and physical activity. We enroll students referred by teachers and focus on supporting struggling readers first through third grade.  

Our staff includes certified teachers who provide literacy instruction. Other elements included homework help, STEM activities, and art projects led by staff and community enrichment partners.
