August is considered…. Sports Mania month.During this month one day a week we will be hosting our

programs related to sports.Such as: Triple Play Rookie League NFL Youth FootballOne day a week throughout the month of august the kids will

get to pick which sport they would like to concentrate on. This month not only teaches them about the different sports out in the world today but it will teach them to work well in groups. It also will teach them to know how to share with other, and learn the difference between violence and defense.

September is considered…. Career Oriented Month.During this month every week we will be conducted

activities that are related to career.Such as: Career Launch Money mattersOne day a week during the month of September there

will be projects where these kids will have to start becoming adults. Money issues and picking a career is a very hard decision. You will probably change your mind throughout your life but there is no reason why you can’t just begin to think about what you would like to be when you grow up, and that will be what we will work on.

October is considered…. Health Month

During this month every week we will devote one day to Health and what girls and boys need to be aware of during this age.

Such as:

Smart Girls

Passport to Manhood

During the month of October there will be projects and activities that will show these children that there is more to life then just school and sports. They need to learn the in and outs of their sexuality and how they will be able to deal with it.

November is considered…. Dental Month

During this month once a week there will be demonstrations and games that show you how to keep your teeth in the best condition.

Such as:

Cavity– Free Zone

During the month of November we will attend to the children and teach them that their teeth are important. They are told that as kids and never really reminded, unless at the dentist. So we would like to show the kids that just because you are not told as much anymore your teeth are one of the main things on your body that you have to try your best to take care of.

December is considered…. Prioritizing MonthDuring this month once a week there will be more dedication

towards the children's work and learning how to understand what is more important and tutoring them in it.

Such as: Power Hour Career Launch

During the month of December we will be focusing on the children's studies. During the Power Hour we will be able to help kids with their work and whatever they feel they need help in. Next, will be the Career Launch and that is going to teach them that when they get older the work and understanding what is more important plays a big role throughout their lives. They need to learn that and show that they will get on top of their studies.
