 About
Us - Details
The S.A.F.E. program currently operates five days a week during
the academic year from the hours of 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.,
when there are more than 200 young people involved in the program.
According to Justice Department studies one of the most dangerous
time periods for young people in the inner city are during these
hours. Starting in September, S.A.F.E. will influence and enrich
more than 300 at-risk youth on a daily basis. This number will
greatly increase during the summer to approximately 400 youth
being serviced through our combined programming.
S.A.F.E. also offers a Saturday Morning Mentor/Tutoring Program
to provide academic assistance and self-esteem enrichment to
children in grades Kindergarten through High School. It runs
during the academic year from October through June and operates
from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. S.A.F.E. tutees attend public and
private schools with the majority living in the Douglas Park,
North Lawndale area. The mentors come from various locations
throughout the city to provide consistent one on one educational
enhancement.
