Project
Learn
Project
Learn reinforces and enhances the skills and
knowledge young people learn at school through
"high-yield" learning activities at the
Club and in the home. Based on Dr. Reginald
Clark's research that shows fun, but academically
beneficial activities increase academic
performance, these activities include leisure
reading, writing activities, homework help and
games which develop young people's cognitive
skills. Project Learn emphasizes collaborations
between Club staff, parents and school personnel.
Formally evaluated by Columbia University, Project
Learn has been proven to boost the academic
performance of Club members.
A
comprehensive homework help and tutoring program,
Power Hour is designed to raise the academic
proficiency of Club members ages 6-12. Power Hour
is sponsored by The JCPenney Afterschool Fund.
