On behalf of Envision Community Services (ECS), would like to proudly announce its partnership with Hurley Elementary School in the execution of Teen REACH, an after-school program funded by the Illinois Department of Human Services. Teen REACH focuses on serving at-hope youth ages 11-14 who meet the criteria of being low-income, at risk of truancy, those experiencing academic or behavior issues/bullying, or experiencing other academic/non-academic challenges.
Teen REACH will provide a be a year-round program, with hours of operation Monday through Friday from 3 PM to 6 PM, and a total of 240 days of programming. The seven core service areas include increasing academic performance, life skills education, parental involvement, positive adult mentors, sports/recreational/cultural activities, service-learning activities, and a Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) curriculum (a new addition to the program).
The proposed outcomes of Teen REACH are to increased academic performance among students, increased parental involvement, increased opportunities for artistic and cultural immersion, as well as providing opportunities for positive youth engagement.
Teen REACH will also provide a supportive environment for young people in which they will become educated on the dangers of risky behaviors and be supported to engage in a healthy lifestyle.
Envision thrives in establishing a successful partnership with Hurley Elementary in securing positive outcomes for at-hope youth within the West Lawn community. We are excited to announce this expanding partnership and look forward to all that will be achieved.
Cordially,
