Homework Club
Mondays-Thursdays 3-6pm

Are you interested in being a positive role model for the youth in the Central neighborhood? Our after school program is geared towards students in middle school struggling with their academics.

Creative Writing
Tuesdays 3-4:30pm
6th-8th grade
Have you always had a passion for creativity? Well some of our youth do too! Join me in facilitating a class for our upcoming leaders to learn how to express themselves and join a greater conversation both locally and internationally through their very own writing. This class will offer skills for self expression and a tool to navigate their lives in the future. All they need are adults who model creativity! Is that you?!
For more information please contact Kiesha Lamb at 612.825.6864 ext. 553 or kiesha.lamb@payfs.org
