OUR SERVICES

​The Greater Enrichment Program (GEP) provides extended learning opportunities beyond the traditional school day through two core programs designed to support students’ academic, social-emotional, and physical growth.

 

AFTERSCHOOL PROGRAM (SCHOOL YEAR)

Operating in partnership with Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools, our afterschool program runs September–June, Monday–Friday, 2:30 p.m.–6:00 p.m. Students receive academic support, enrichment activities, and structured recreation in a safe, nurturing environment.

 

SUMMER ENRICHMENT PROGRAM

Our six-week summer program (June–July), Monday–Friday, 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m., combines academic enrichment with hands-on learning, creative activities, and engaging experiences that keep students motivated and prepared for the new school year.

Both programs provide high-quality learning environments that give families peace of mind and help students thrive.

 

ACADEMIC SUPPORT & TUTORING

At the Greater Enrichment Program (GEP), learning is engaging, interactive, and results-driven. We help students strengthen their skills in literacy, math, and science through dynamic instruction aligned with North Carolina Common Core Standards.
 

Students participate in Teacher Directed Activities (TDA)—hands-on, high-energy lessons designed to build critical thinking, boost confidence, and make learning fun.

​

In addition, GEP provides small-group instruction allowing students receive targeted support to sharpen problem-solving skills and improve classroom performance.

​

At GEP, we don’t just support learning—we spark a love for it.

 

MENTORING

Our staff and community volunteers serve as dedicated mentors to our students, building meaningful relationships that foster trust, encouragement, and growth. Through consistent guidance and positive role modeling, mentors help children develop strong self-esteem, confidence, and character.
 

By providing support both academically and personally, we empower our students to achieve their personal best — in school and within their communities.
 

Mentoring at GEP is more than support; it is an investment in the leaders of tomorrow.

 

TRANSPORTATION

GEP provides limited free transportation to participants residing in designated transportation areas. Designated transportation areas are normally within a limited area around the program site. Parents must apply for transportation at the time of program registration.
