The Columbus Dream Center responded to the COVID-19 crisis in 2020 with a Learning Extension Program where they offered a safe space for students to do remote school work with support and meals. In 2021, as schools returned to in person, the Dream Center desired to maintain connection with the students and launched the After School Program for students to continue with support on homework, receive snacks, and be connected with the volunteers and students in the area.
