Organizations Filed Purposes:
THE MISSION OF P.A.R.K. IS TO PROVIDE HIGH-RISK STUDENTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO FURTHER THEIR EDUCATION BY COMPLETING HIGH SCHOOL SO THEY CAN ATTEND COLLEGE. THE THREE MAJOR GOALS FOR EACH STUDENT IN THE PROGRAM ARE: (1) TO ENSURE THEIR ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND ALLOW THEM TO EXPAND THEIR HORIZONS; (2)TO BUILD THEIR CONFIDENCE, SELF-ESTEEM AND SPIRITUAL AWARENESS; AND (3) TO INSTILL IN THEM THE IMPORTANCE OF HELPING OTHERS. THESE GOALS ARE ACHIEVED BY PROVIDING A POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE BUILT ON LOVE, NURTURING AND DISCIPLINE.
P.A.R.K. IS AN AFTER SCHOOL AND SUMMER PROGRAM BASED IN LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS, WHICH OPERATES MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE YEAR FOR HIGH-RISK STUDENTS. STUDENTS ENTER THE PROGRAM IN THE 8TH GRADE, BEGINNING A FIVE YEAR COMMITMENT TO HELP ENSURE A STUDENT'S GRADUATION FROM HIGH SCHOOL AS WELL AS INDIVIDUAL GROWTH. EACH DAY, P.A.R.K PROVIDES A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS TO COMPLETE ACADEMIC REQUIREMENTS AS WELL AS PROVIDING SUPPORT FOR HOMEWORK, TUTORING IN ALL COURSES, RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES, LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT AND INVOLVEMENT IN COMMUNITY SERVICES. MOST STUDENTS ARE HIGH-RISK BECAUSE THEY HAVE GPA'S OF 2.5 OR LESS BEFORE THEY ENTER THE PROGRAM. THEY TYPICALLY HAVE HIGH ACADEMIC POTENTIAL DESPITE THEIR CURRENT POOR PERFORMANCE IN SCHOOL. THEY ARE OFTEN INELIGIBLE FOR SCHOOL SPORTS AND CLUBS DUE TO THEIR LOW ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. THEY TYPICALLY END UP "ON THE STREETS" AFTER SCHOOL AND DURING THE SUMMER IF THEY DO NOT ENTER THIS PROGRAM. MOST STUDENTS HAVE NO EDUCATIONAL VISION OF ATTENDING COLLEGE, BUT WILL BECOME FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS.
