Mission Statement

YouthBASE equips children in K5-2nd grades and their families to build the child’s behavioral, academic, social and emotional competencies so they may succeed at school, home, and in the community. We envision a community where all children succeed. Success to us means that children have age-appropriate behavior and social/emotional capacities/opportunities and grade level academic proficiency to experience success at school, at home and in community.

Description

YouthBASE is an evidence-based afterschool and summer program that is designed to help provide a better future for children in Greenville. We believe a deficit in one area affects the entire child, and that every child deserves to have a future.

Our philosophy is holistic and understands that to be successful, YouthBASE must connect a child’s home, school, and after-school environments. To make this connection, we offer an unique approach compared to traditional afterschool and summer programs:

  • Children have individualized behavior and academic plans that are adapted with progress.
  • YouthBASE staff establishes effective collaborations between families, schools, teachers and after-school staff.
  • Family engagement programs offer support to parents through CafĂ© de Madres and Family Nights.
  • Children are provided a wealth of opportunities to establish strong, safe relationships and connect with the community.
