THE FUTURE VILLAGE

The Future Village reaches the children & youth in the Russell neighborhood through year round programming:

 

BYOL - Be Your Own Leader (2nd-5th grade students)

• After School Tutoring 

• Summer Enrichment Program

• Make sense of their collective African-American identity and individual identities through music, art, dance, and drama

• Develop literacy skills in service of their moral enrichment and leadership

• Become digitally agile

• Build nurturing adult relationships

 

Through monthly theme-based activities, students explore their cultural and historical heritage and create self-designed projects. The students use multimodal technology and performance to creatively and dynamically capture their beliefs, art, leadership, language, economy, and customs. They collaborate to showcase their learning to the community each month. Quarterly field trips and support from two mental health experts, 12 guest speakers, and two artists-in-residence further enrich students’ experiences.

 

BYOL is offered Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
