Glimmer of Hope offers a variety of school-based and center-based After School Programs and Summer Camps for children in grades 6 -12. These programs promote positive youth development, foster social and emotional skills, and strengthen academic skills. All of our programs offer academic enrichment activities that are age appropriate, help participants learn new skills and improve academically, and are consistent with school-day learning activities. All activities are designed to help students achieve improved outcomes in school, explore and cultivate new interests, and become more connected to their community.
