Urban Promise Charlotte After School Program

At UrbanPromise, we believe that what happens out of school is just as important as what happens during the school day. It’s why we offer high-quality out-of-school time programs throughout the year that help students achieve greater literacy, confidence in academic abilities and spiritual growth.

Throughout the year, we offer:

After school programming:
After School programs are held Monday-Thursday afternoons for elementary & middle school students. Every day and every site are a little different, but in a typical week our students participate in:

Dinner & Team Building:
A healthy meal and activities designed to build community and character while strengthening relationships with peers and with caring adults.

Academic Support:
Students rotate through Literacy, Homework, and Bible classes. Certified teachers lead 60 minutes of literacy instruction, while StreetLeaders lead 30 minutes of Bible and character instruction. StreetLeaders and community volunteers serve as tutors during homework class.

Options Classes:
These classes vary but are designed to help students explore arts, wellness and other life skills. Possible Options classes include cooking, fitness, gardening, dance, art, drama, or music. In the spring and fall, we also partner with Let Me Run (4th-6th grade boys) and Girls on the Run (3rd-5th grade girls) as an offering!
