Mission Statement
Fostering the enrichment of New York's youth through healthy lifestyles, mental agility and civic awareness.
Description
BLAST is not yet in operation. However, BLAST is an after school program that will offer an array of activities (i.e., arts and crafts, homework help, games, etc.) and its disciplined programs includes Health Awareness, Etiquette, Creative Arts, Mentoring and Financial Awareness. It will also offer a summer program which will include trips, games, community service, outdoor activities, etc. we are looking for Advisory Board members and volunteers who have the same interest and beliefs. BLAST believes that access to high-quality after school programs provides tremendous benefits to all children, especially our nation’s most vulnerable children. Improving access to child care can buffer children and families from certain challenges whether it’s homelessness, not being able to afford child care or the hours of operation to suit the parents needs. We believe that a good foundation is what our children need. Therefore, our motto is "Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6".
In addition to providing needed niche service of enrichment programs, and serve as an affordable day care provider with extended care hours for working parents, BLAST will: Improve educational benefits of the students that it serves, Improve social skills of the students that it serves, Improve health of the students that it serves, promote life's accomplishments to our children and Empower our youth and teach them the foundation of how to be a model citizen.
