Gideon’s After Care Program is a school-linked program that improves achievement, increases attendance and often decreases retention.  Students are supplied homework assistance by the aftercare instructors and the Salvation Army Cadets and tutoring in reading and math by volunteering classroom teachers.  Enrichment activities in music, art, technology and supervised recreational activities are essential to the program.  The program offers an opportunity for 3^rd, 4^th and 5^th grade children to visit the High Museum, Fernbank Science Center and the Botanical Garden.  Each child is provided the opportunity to receive mentoring as an on-going component of the program.  A daily nutritional snack for each child is provided.
