The Home Base After School Program offers children a safe and nurturing environment where they can participate in active, hands-on learning activities that are not always available during the school day. With Home Base, kids get the opportunity to shine. They can become authors of a book, write a play, create a poem, write music, learn a different language, and develop an appreciation for other cultures.
Since it opened its doors in October 2006, the Home Base After School Program has supported academic achievement in math, technology and science. The program also includes study in French, Spanish, Japanese, music appreciation, etymology of the English language, film making, Tai Chi, and African Culture.
Students who attend the Home Base After School Program (the Home Base Awesome Kids) are 4th through 8th graders who live primarily in the Fairview and Muldoon areas of Anchorage, Alaska. These eleven Awesome Kids are now authors, explorers, community service participants, and world travelers!
Eight to fifteen million children nationwide are unsupervised at the close of each school day. The Home Base After School Program in Anchorage, Alaska has been helping children to reach their goals in life for the past three years through after school tutoring, mentoring, and enrichment activities.
Home Base After School is more than just a safe environment for youth. It is also a creative place where a "community of leaners," including young people, mentors, and staff, use technology as a tool for learning and creative expression.The coordinator for the program is Ms. Shirley Mae Springer-Staten, a, international keynote speaker, workshop facilitator, and performing artist.
