Sacramento START After School Program

Description

Sacramento START builds the capacity of individuals to succeed by providing opportunities to learn and lead within our communities.

The program helps children throughout the Sacramento region gain knowledge, expand their universe outside neighborhood boundaries, provide opportunities to grow and flourish, build and develop trust, and create and fulfill dreams. With this in mind, the program promotes youth development and builds on individual student assets. Teaching to the whole child helps the child form new friendships, develop new interests, and enhance self-esteem. Positive youth development promotes social and emotional growth and greater attachment to school which, in turn, translates into enhanced learning opportunities during the regular school day.
