Project Description:

Grandma's Kids is an after-school program that serves children in formal or informal kinship placement, foster care, and single parent households. Children who are low-income and at-risk of violence and disparities that can mitigate compromise their academic progress are also eligible. We serve local public schools in the North Philadelphia neighborhood. The focus is on student growth via homework and academic support and provides a positive social-emotional learning environment for students in Kindergarten through fifth grade. Grandma's Kids works with Temple University students to provide tutoring and homework help to elementary-aged students on-site inside the public schools we serve.
