| Description |
In 1995, Mayor Wilmington Webb partnered with Denver schools to create Club Denver Afterschool Program, an afterschool program designed to engage middle school students in constructive activity by getting them interested in future careers. The program is overseen by the Deputy Director of the Mayor's Office for Education and Children and operates in all 20 of the city's middle schools. Principals select teachers to lead each club in the afterschool curriculum, and each leader is then responsible to a city agency staff member. For example, instructors for the Aviation Club report to the Denver International Airport. In addition to collecting attendance and monitoring these programs, supervisors provide ideas, curriculum, and other support to the instructors. |
| Goal / Mission |
The goal of this program is to engage middle school students in constructive activity by getting them interested in future careers. |
| Results / Accomplishments |
One of the Club Denver programs, Arts Club Denver, serves almost 1,000 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. The Club Denver programs are very popular and provide the core of an after-school program in all DPS middle schools. |
