Benefits of AMP
Afterschool programs are beneficial for both children and adolescents. A 1994 long-term study by Posner and Vandell found that children in structured, academic afterschool programs had increased academic achievement when compared to their peers. The study showed that students who had taken part in an after-school program also exhibited more emotional stability and signs of social adjustment than their counterparts. In particular, students in an after-school activity behaved better and adjusted more smoothly when transitioning to new grades or new schools, most notably in the transition from middle to high school.
At AMP, we believe in making our youth’s Sweet Dreams come true by teaching them every minute is meaningful. Our program aims to deliver life-changing enrichment programs and life-affirming experiences to at-risk girls in Washington, DC
