Afterschool Programs
21st Century Kids and Rock On Education strive to create a generation of leaders
by empowering youth, engaging parents and community, and enriching
school culture.
YPI’s afterschool program reaches more than 6,300 students every day
at 56 school sites. Partnering with the Los Angeles Unified
School District (LAUSD) and charter schools in Los Angeles, 21st Century Kids (elementary and middle programs) and Rock On Education (high school programs)
offer tutoring and project-based activities that increase academic
achievement while keeping learning fun. The afterschool program provides students and their families
with credentialed teachers and college-age tutors every school
day until 6 pm.
The program provides both academic assistance and enrichment activities
and works to keep students on track for timely grade level promotion
and graduation from high school. 21st Century Kids and Rock On Education offer tutoring,
parenting workshops, financial literacy, test preparation and other
services for all grade levels to support families in meeting the
goal of a college education. To complement this, at the high school
level Rock On Education offers career preparation services, including
career exploration, job skills training, job shadowing with mentors
in the community, and coursework for specific career tracks in
partnership with LAUSD and area community colleges.
