Goodnow provides a variety of academic, recreational and
enrichment activities that promote respect, honesty, cultural diversity, civic
responsibility and teamwork. The center offers employment for college age youth
through AmeriCorps who serve as counselors that provide homework assistance and
support academic skills development in participating youth. The program year is
divided into thematic months, which guide the academic, enrichment, and
recreation activities.
Our after-school program at the Goodnow Community Center
enjoys good communication with parents and family members and benefits from the
presence of enthusiastic, committed AmeriCorps members who relate well to the
youth bridging generations and providing role models at different levels.
