Sharmonique * Power Project ParentI decided to engage with [SFNC] because I needed an aftercare option for my daughter. Once she was accepted and loved going, I had to check it out myself. I’ve been a part of it ever since. The care my daughter gets is unmatched. The staff are very friendly.
Our Impact in 2023
Students enrolled in the Power Project, our flagship afterschool program, receive tailored academic support, extracurricular enrichment, and the opportunity to cultivate their social-emotional skills. We take a holistic approach to supporting student's success by providing wraparound support to their families--connecting them with resources, services, and a listening ear for whatever challenges they may be facing.
