After School Program

The After School Program provides a safe place where middle and high school students can go to escape the stresses that they face on a daily basis. The free program provides tutoring for students, time to hang out with friends in a healthy environment, weekly dinners, and group fun and games. The program is open from 3:15-5:30pm on Monday and Wednesday for middle school students and Tuesday and Thursday for high school students. Over 45 students are served annually and an average of 20 -25 students attend daily.

Guys Night

Guys’ nights are hosted monthly for our middle and high school aged boys. These evenings are an opportunity to connect guys with positive male mentors, discuss relevant topics (self-esteem, healthy relationships, bullying) and cultivate confidence, leadership focused around the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Thrive

Thrive is offered monthly throughout the school year and is facilitated by Nutrition Majors from West Chester University. Students learn how to take regular food products and make them into a healthy snack/meal (i.e. Black Bean Brownies, Healthy Ramen, & Oatmeal Power Bars).

Girls Night

Girls’ nights are hosted monthly for our high school aged girls. These evenings are an opportunity to connect girls with positive female mentors, discuss relevant topics (self-esteem, healthy relationships, bullying) and cultivate confidence, leadership, focused around the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

STEAM

STEAM is an approach to learning and development that integrates the areas of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. Through STEAM, students develop key skills, which include problem solving and creativity.  Our mission is to empower youth and families. Our STEM program will help to give youth the confidence and the necessary skills to address the practical problems that will come their way.

Reimagining Academic Dreams (R.A.D.)

R.A.D. aims to provide an outlet for students (Juniors and Seniors) of the West Chester Community to be exposed to and prepared for college, apprenticeship, or the workforce through relational connections. We want to challenge students to step outside their comfort zone by making long-term goals for their future profession. Students learn budgeting, how to dress for an interview, applying for financial aid etc. This past year, our R.A.D. program served 4 students each of whom received a $500 scholarship for completing the program.

What to Expect

Respectfulness

We respect the choices, beliefs and ideals of all people. We respect the role that families have in helping to shape these choices as well.

Diversity

We will not discriminate on the basis of race, ethnicity or religion; we seek to build relationships with and empower as many people as possible.

Partnership

We will work with a wide variety of partners and advocates for a combined quality effort.

The Gospel

Everyone has a reason for the things that they do. For us we believe that it is the gospel of Jesus Christ that redeems and transforms both the hearts of people and their communities.

Relationships

We believe that every person has God given abilities, gifts, and passions. Through relationship, we to see those gifts used to benefit the community.

Fun

Life can be full of challenges. You can expect the WCC to be a place where you can take a break and have a blast!
