Linking the community together!

​What is Club EDGE?

 

Program Description

 

We believe that learning does not stop when the final school bell rings. Therefore, Littlejohn Community Center has implemented an after-school program that serves as a safe place for students to go, where they can engage in enriching activities and make connections with caring adults and teen volunteers. The program offers innovative, hands-on activities that reinforce and complement students' regular academic programs. Extended learning opportunities play a crucial role in promoting student success and involving the community in schools.
