A typical afternoon:

GRASP addresses the whole person.  Weekly activities include recreation, social, spiritual and academic focus.

Recreation During rec time, there are options of activities that include air hockey, pool, board games, basketball, and many other activities. During this time, the snack bar offers a variety of food.




Study Time Academic excellence is encouraged during supervised study time.  Adults are present to assist with homework and tutor in needed subjects.  Computers are available for research and report writing.  Emphasis is placed upon developing good study habits and the importance of education.





Community Service Regular community service projects engage students in giving to a world that is larger than their school and friends.  Past projects have included building and installing bird feeders for shut-ins, visiting the elderly, and painting and planting for other community organizations.




Get involved!

The community of Greenville has purpose to give hope to this generation.  VOLUNTEERS from area churches, schools, and agencies are giving of their time and resources to insure the program’s success.  Volunteers provide meals or snacks, lead crafts or recreation, tutor students, host the snack bar, work on fundraising events, assist in the office and serve on the Advisory Board.


YOUTH CAN ENROLL by completing a permission slip and medical release and returning it to the school (for the elementary program) or bringing it to the program site for junior and senior high.
