Dunbar Association Inc

Youth/family services:provided academic, recreational, social emotional, and enrichment activities and support for school-aged children in afterschool and summer program settings. The youth afterschool and summer program aims to improve student attendance in both school and dunbar's afterschool program; to improve emotional self-management skills; to develop students' appreciation for their cultural heritage and the culture of others; and to improve relationship building and conflict resolution skills. We continue to impact the academic success of our youth by providing tutoring and help with homework and classwork. Syracuse university interns also meet with our youth. We track student attendance and follow up with families when their child misses a program session. Our youth receive positive reinforcement of social skills through lessons and activities. Our programs expose youth to physical activities such as boxing, tennis, pickleball and more.
