Imagine a school where everyone feels safe, loved and celebrated. Imagine enemies finding common ground and making peace; friends healing past hurts and making amends; people igniting their passion for service and leadership; adults and youth working together to create a school where everyone is included and thrives. This is Challenge Day.

The program goes beyond traditional anti-bullying efforts, building empathy and inspiring a school-wide movement of compassion and positive change. We address some common issues seen in most schools including cliques, gossip, rumors, negative judgments, teasing, harassment, isolation, stereotypes, intolerance, racism, sexism, bullying, violence, suicide, homophobia, hopelessness, apathy, and hidden pressures to create an image, achieve or live up to the expectations of others.

As a volunteer, you will experience Challenge Day along with all of the other participants. Adult Participants are part of the workshop day. By being there, you are letting students know that there are caring adults in their community who are willing to be real with them. You will help mentor, coach, and counsel some of your communities youth.

Mission Statement

The ACE (After-Class Enrichment) Program creates opportunities for students to grow academically, socially, and emotionally through enrichment activities.

Description

In Calistoga, there’s not much for kids to do after school and that is exactly where ACE comes in! Over 68% of the students fall below the extreme poverty line and many cannot afford external services. ACE (After-Class Enrichment) provides a space for junior high kids to come and create projects, participate in engaging activities, and get homework help in a safe and fun environment. Once students are enrolled, they are provided with snacks, one-on-one homework assistance, and outdoor recreation everyday after school. All services provided are completely free and available Monday-Friday until 6pm on the Calistoga Jr./Sr. High School.
