About Me
The goal of School’s Out SC is to transform all area schools into Community Learning Centers.

The purpose of the Community Learning Center is to ensure that all students in our high poverty communities are provided with structured, positive after school programs that are safe, rewarding, and inspiring. Additionally, each center will offer healthy meals and healthcare access as well as learning, recreational and positive options for families and adults during evenings, weekends and summer.

Our active partnership with several local businesses helps us maintain the highest level of performance, accountability, and efficiency in order to achieve this goal. But we need your help.

School’s Out works with South Carolina’s often overwhelmed and underappreciated school principals to best organize after school programs that best suit each school’s individual needs. Our full time site coordinators work hands on in each participating school. Their purpose is to support the principal, oversee the execution of dozens of programs, and constantly communicate with students and parents in order to encourage participation.

In our poorest communities with so many working, single parents and so many children returning to empty homes after school, raising healthy, motivated kids is a challenge for even the most heroic parent.

With your help we can turn our schools into safe and vibrant community centers during the crucial after school hours, weekends, and summers. With your help kids can eat healthy meals and be surrounded by teachers and mentors everyday instead of being left alone. With your help children can choose between structured art classes and organized team sports instead of being susceptible to drugs, crime, and teenage pregnancy.
