Middle School Program Support
Introduction
The Central Valley Afterschool Foundation has the expertise to offer your middle school program highly specialized support and technical assistance. Programs serving older youth face unique challenges to successful program design and implementation. Our staff can help you address these problems by providing your program with practical, results-driven solutions. We provide support and technical assistance by providing and brokering resources, coaching, consulting, mentoring and training. Middle School support covers topics such as: Program Design; Marketing, Recruitment and Retention; Management and Staffing; as well as Communications and Collaborations. Your organization will benefit from the services we provide, whether operating a K-8 Elementary, Intermediate, Middle, Junior High, Charter School, or other Community Based Organization which serves kids ranging 10 to 15 years of age.
