After-School Program

BHCLC's After School Program is for at-risk students (grades 1-12). This program is designed to equip youth to aggressively stand against the challenges they may face, and to train them to provide quality leadership for their peers and their communities. For the students, this program includes One-on-One Tutoring, Homework Assistance, Small Group Instruction, Organizational and Study Skills, Technology Lab, Life Skills, Mentoring, Character Education, and Identity Formation. Parents are involved in volunteer service, as well as Life Skills classes that are taught through the Building Bridges

Women of Worth

Focusing on middle school young ladies, WOW is a dynamic group of youth committed to becoming women of excellence spiritually, academically, and socially. This group meets for dance practice, dinners, and special speakers on even Friday nights at Building Hope. The young ladies also do service projects and field trips to college campuses throughout the year to become ready for the next level. Women of Worth (WOW) is raising the self-esteem of over 30 young ladies in Greenville, Farmville, and Conetoe, and we invite other sisters to come and join in the fun.

300 Men of Standard

Meeting every Friday afternoon for physical training and movie nights, 300 MOS is a collaboration of two already successful youth development programs in two neighboring counties with two school systems to produce intense, measurable results aimed at increasing the graduation rate in the lives of young men. This long-term, holistic approach to mind, soul, and body raises academic achievement, develops social skills, and produces physical disciplines to support 300 young men grades 6-12 in Pitt and Edgecombe Counties. The ultimate goal is to create a cohort of 300 young men, targeted because of academic and social risk factors, who commit to a code of conduct much like a gang that includes academic, social, and physical standards. Through producing this unit of social equity and high personal standards, the initiative will uniquely serve those youth most in danger of dropping out across a two county spectrum.
