Education & Career Development
These programs enable youth to become proficient
in basic educational disciplines, apply learning to everyday situations and
embrace technology to optimize employability.

POWER HOUR:
POWER HOUR is an educational program where members
receive homework help and tutoring. Available on Monday through Thursday from 2:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., students have
access to resource materials and one-on-one help from a staff member. Participants in POWER HOUR earn points
towards monthly parties and trips to fun attractions.
Members may sign up at any point during the school year for
the program.

NetSmartz:
Our NetSmartz program is currently going on in the
technology lab. This class teaches our members about
Internet safety, about the things that you should and should
not do, such as talking to strange people and giving out
personal information. Members need to remember that they
MUST take this class before they are allowed in the
technology lab, so see Cameron about taking it as soon as
possible.
All members who plan on using the technology center at
any point during the year will be required to read and sign
our new Acceptable Use Policy. This policy outlines what is
and is not acceptable behavior while using the equipment in
our technology center. See Mr. Mac for details.

Community Accelerated Learning
Program (ALP)
The Boys Club is once again a site for Community
ALP during the school year. Community ALP is for members in grades 3-8 who
are performing below grade level in school. The classes are led by certified teachers who come
to the Club to teach members on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:00pm-7:00pm.
Students will benefit from a low teacher to student ratio (1:12), and from the
fun, hands-on projects used to teach the lessons.
Wake County Public Schools
created ALP as a school-based program a number of years ago to provide extra
help for students in grades 3-8 who are performing below grade level. In
2000, the program expanded to non-school sites.
The Boys & Girls Clubs in Raleigh are proud to be the first non-school site
chosen for Community ALP.
