"When we went to United Way with our plans to start an after-
school educational program, they told us they were interested
in seeing us start a LEARNING CLUB® Program. They
directed us to the National LEARNING CLUB® Office. That
year United Way gave us a grant to start the program."

"If I had not seen it, I would never have believed it. Imagine
this: 23 seven to thirteen year olds marching in, picking up
their books and working steadily for 60 minutes. The
LEARNING CLUB® is incredible."
Executive Director, regional branch of a national youth organization
"As an agency board member, I am proud to be associated
with this program and realize now the importance of our
fund raising and board work."
Board member of agency operating LEARNING CLUB® Program
"Having a clear understanding of LEARNING CLUB®
objectives is not enough. One needs to see the program in
action, to fully absorb the positive effects a program like this
can have on at-risk youth. There should be a Learning Club
in every housing project in every city."

"As an agency board member, I can't believe I have
waited this long to visit the LEARNING CLUB®. The
staff and students have given me the spirit to believe
in the future of our children and the educational
system."

keenly aware of each student's progress."

is so well organized and the learning conditions for the
