Year-Round After-School Programs
During the 2025-2026 school year, we will be offering various virtual after-school programs! For teens interested in volunteering to be a tutor, please find more information and the application here!
Bradley Sonnenberg Remote Reading Program
The Bradley Sonnenberg Remote Reading Program, founded in loving memory of Bradley Sonnenberg, is a literacy and mentorship program for our K-6th grade scholars. Each scholar is paired with a high school student volunteer or college student and together they set up a time each week to read a designated book on Zoom. They read through the book page by page together, pausing regularly to define new vocabulary, check in with comprehension, and talk about themes. The program runs from September 2025-May 2026.
Through these experiences, students are able to further their relationships and continue growing their reading skills. A group of teen mentors also created female empowerment book club in which mentor-mentee pairs read a discuss books with strong female characters and the power of women. Mentor-mentee pairs also attend events together every other month. The events include field trips, community service or social justice projects, and literacy events.
