After School Safety And Enrichment For Teens (ASSETS)

As an example, students in the High School Programs will participate in leadership activities at their campuses to promote student awareness of issues and problems caused by drug and alcohol abuse, smoking, and domestic violence. Student leadership teams in BTB high school programs are also reaching out to incoming 9th grade students at their respective high schools to welcome them to their new school.

These city-wide collaboratives operate after school programs offering academic assistance, enrichment activities and recreational activities in a safe, supervised environment from the release of the school day until 6:00 p.m. each school day.
The collaborative nature of this grant encourages the creation of after school programs that meet the needs of the schools and its stakeholders.

Parents should request an application directly from your schools' after school provider. The Youth Services Program application is available in the BTB E-Library Student Auxiliary Services section.
