OUR SERVICES

​The Greater Enrichment Program (GEP) provides tuition-free afterschool and summer enrichment programs designed to help children grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically.

 

AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM (SCHOOL YEAR)

Our school-year program operates September–June, Monday–Friday, 2:30–6:00 p.m. Students enjoy academic support, enrichment, social-emotional learning, fitness, and recreation in a safe and nurturing environment.

 

SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

Our six-week summer program combines academic enrichment, hands-on learning, field trips, creative activities, fitness, and fun to keep students engaged and ready for the next school year.

 

ACADEMIC SUPPORT & TUTORING

GEP makes learning engaging and meaningful.  Students strengthen skills in literacy, Math, and science through hands - on activities, small-group instruction, and targeted academic support.  Our goal is simple: build skills, strengthen confidence, and spark a love of learning
 

MENTORING

GEP staff and community volunteers build positive, supportive relationships with students through encouragement, guidance, and consistent role modeling.

Mentoring helps our students develop confidence, character, self-esteem, and leadership skills—in school and beyond.
 

TRANSPORTATION

GEP provides limited free transportation home for eligible students who live within designated transportation areas. Families requesting transportation should apply during program registration.

THE GEP EXPERIENCE
GEP is more than afterschool. Through academics, enrichment, mentoring, social-emotional learning, fitness, family engagement, and community partnerships, we create experiences that help children discover their potential and thrive.
