After School Program

"Igniting Potential, Nurturing Minds, Shaping Futures: The Heartbeat of Sinomlando's After School Program"

Our After School Program is more than just an academic support system; it’s a sanctuary where every child is valued and encouraged to dream big. We provide a structured framework that integrates academic tutoring with social and emotional support, creating a non-judgmental space that fosters a growth mindset among the youth. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by our participants, including loss of parental figures and exposure to violence, we tailor our services to meet their comprehensive needs.
