Branches, Inc.

The Grow Program serves elementary students preparing them for lifelong success through enrichment of their minds, bodies and hearts. Our engagement with the students begins after school with tutoring and homework help but continues with enrichment activities including: - Summer Shade Camp - Recreational Activities - Social Skill Development - Mentoring - Healthy Meals and Snacks The Grow program lays the foundation to make a long-term impact in the lives of children by retaining a high percentage of students over many years. Consequently, the learning and the growth that take place in the life of a Branches student in one year becomes the foundation for further personal development and growth the next year. After just a few consistent years of engagement at Branches, students are not only in the mindset of setting goals but they are achieving goals on a regular basis.

The Climb Program serves middle and high school students focusing on the development of their individual assets in order to maximize opportunities to become better students and better people.
