 Get Involved

From undergraduate students hoping to gain research experience to after school program staff interested in learning more about our programs, there are several ways for motivated, talented individuals to get involved!

 

Recruit your after school program!

We are always looking for after school programs that may be a good fit for our programming. Our ideal after school program is located in South Carolina, has enrollment of 20+ adolescent youth (ranging from grades 4-7), and demonstrates need based upon participant characteristics such as low-income or minority status.
