The Apalina After-School Program aims to support local students and schools. It meets daily from 2-4pm, serving meals and dividing over 200 students into grade-based study groups. The program seeks to improve attendance, strengthen parent-school relationships through monthly meetings, and teach life skills to better prepare students. Specific goals for the upcoming year are improving faithful school attendance, improving parent-school communication, and increasing life skills instruction.
