Thanks Pepsi!
A $2500 Pepsi Foundation grant was awarded to Community Services YMCA. It will help infuse wellness in our CincyAfterSchool program by inviting children and their families to participate in learning adventures in spirit, mind and body. We will engage the community in Step-tember, Healthy Kids Day, and other special events to communicate the importance of healthy living.

Summer Learning Continues
Statistics show that youth, who continue to learn throughout the summer, increase achievement during the school year. CincyAfterSchool Tutors are keeping summer learning available both in CPS Summer School programs until July 3rd and at Libraries, YMCA's and other community locations throughout the summer. If your child needs summer tutoring contact Paul Clemens to find a location.
