  • Homework Support increases regular class and school attendance.
  • Is has also been proven the hours between 3 p.m. and 6 p.m. are the peak hours for juvenile crime and experimentation with drugs, alcohol, cigarettes and sex. Afterschool programs are risk prevention program because children are supervised by adults that allow them to engage healthy behaviors.
