Mission and programs · 2023

• YOUTH PROGRAMS RESEARCH SHOWS THAT HIGH-QUALITY AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS IMPROVE STUDENTS' EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES, SCHOOL ATTENDANCE, AND SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL LEARNING. CONSISTENT PARTICIPATION IN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS RESULTS IN LOWER DROPOUT RATES AND HELPS TO CLOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS FOR LOW-INCOME STUDENTS. AFTER THE SCHOOL DAY ENDS, 1 IN 5 KIDS ACROSS AMERICA ARE ALONE AND UNSUPERVISED. THESE HOURS-FROM 2 TO 6 P.M. ARE THE PEAK TIME FOR JUVENILE CRIME. AFTER- SCHOOL PROGRAMS TURN THAT TIME OF RISK INTO OPPORTUNITY, KEEPING KIDS SAFE AND HELPING THEM REALIZE THEIR FULL POTENTIAL. IN OUR COMMUNITY, WELLSPRING'S AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM AND SUMMER DAY CAMP ARE INSPIRING LEARNING, PROVIDING SAFETY, PROMOTING SMART CHOICES, AND SUPPORTING WORKING PARENTS. COST AND ACCESS CONTINUE TO BE BARRIERS TO PARTICIPATION IN AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAMS, WITH ABOUT 3 IN 5 PARENTS MENTIONING THIS AS THE REASON THEY DID NOT ENROLL THEIR CHILD IN SUCH A PROGRAM. WITH YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT, WELLSPRING WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE AFTER-SCHOOL AND SUMMER DAY CAMP PROGRAMS TO OUR COMMUNITY FREE OF CHARGE. IN 2023, 242 STUDENTS PARTICIPATED IN OUR PROGRAMS.
