Last year, the Community Education Department provided over $75,750 in financial assistance to allow youth in need to participate in an array of quality enrichment programs such as driver education, college prep, technology, swim instruction, health and wellness, language and S.T.E.M. courses as well as after school classes and summer sports camps. These programs provide participants with the opportunity to pursue their interests, expand their abilities and improve social skills in a fun and safe environment.
