Q: Who are the Mentoring Alliance staff?

Our staff are godly, joyful mentors trained in safety practices, group management and child development.

Q: What activities will my child do at the after school program?

Students at our after-school programs play games, finish homework, have fun with friends, experience one-on-one mentoring and more.

At our after-school programs, leaders invest in one-on-one relationships with students. Kids have a blast, and parents know they’ll get their homework done.

What to Expect

From fun and games to homework and life skills, our after school program has it all.

One-on-one mentoring

Our leaders are passionate about building trusted relationships with each student to nurture spiritual, academic and personal growth.

Games and activities

Our leaders plan tons of games and activities to get your child moving and having fun with their friends. (Sorry – your child will hate to leave!)

Homework help

Those final hours before bedtime should be for connecting as a family, not grinding through homework. We help your child come home with their work already done.

Safe environment

Our after-school programs take place in local schools or our office, so they’re immediately in a safe and familiar environment.

Spiritual growth

Through optional weekly Bible studies, prayer, mentoring and more, our great godly leaders help spark growing faith and encourage individual relationships with Jesus.

Life skill development

Your child will learn and develop life skills like perseverance, cooperation and leadership through the relationships they build with friends and mentors.

With all of these situations just even in the past couple of years, I don’t feel like our kids would have been able to get through without the After School program.

What our parents are saying

Your child is going to be well protected and prayed for. They care about them academically as well. And so if you can get academics, Bible study and snacks, it’s a win, win, win. It’s also very affordable!
