readingPower Hour

Power Hour is a comprehensive homework help and tutoring program for all members of The Boys & Girls Clubs of Lake and Sumter Counties. Power Hour provides members with the support, resources and guidance necessary to complete their homework and start the day with a sense of confidence and ability. As members complete homework assignments and bonus activities, they accumulate "Power Points", which may be used to obtain "Power Rewards" prizes, activities and incentives. In addition, Power Hour offers tutoring assistance for members who need additional work in special areas.

Project Learn reinforces and enhances the skills and knowledge young people learn at school during the hours they spend at the Club. Through Project Learn, Club staff use all the areas and programs in the Club to create opportunities for these high-yield learning activities, which include leisure reading, writing activities, discussions with knowledgeable adults, helping others, homework help and tutoring and games like Scrabble that develop young people’s cognitive skills. Project Learn also emphasizes parent involvement and collaboration between Club and school professionals as critical factors in creating the best after-school learning environment for Club members ages 6-18.


The Ultimate Journey

This internationally recognized, award-winning environmental education program leads Club members ages 6-12 on a fun-filled journey into the beautiful and amazing world of plants and animals. Through participation in games, crafts and discovery-based activities, young people develop an awareness of the environment, acquire a better understanding of how human actions affect nature, reinforce math and science skills and learn about conservation of our natural resources.
