The Academic Enrichment Program (AEP) is an after school program that has been in operation for over 12 years serving children from neighboring schools through homework instruction, reading and math remediation, academic and cultural enrichment, and through social services including care in mental health and free medical and dental assistance.

AEP Summer - is an extension of the AEP that operates in the month of June. Children required to attend summer school are transported to the Center after classes to participate in fun activities that focus on a particular country and its culture. Last summer the children worked with writers and poets through a program called Writers in the Schools. They published a collection of their own short stories and poetry as an anthology. It was a powerful expression of their perspectives on life and on their situation.
