What services does A Better World have to offer?

We have a mini-bus to transport students to and from A Better World who reside in the Ashley Park community and the surrounding areas within the 28208 zip code area. 

When they arrive, students can receive a snack prior to working on their homework assignments, and/or any other activities that is scheduled for them to do.

A Better World recruits volunteers to help tutor students Monday through Thursday with their homework.

Students have access to a library, and they are required to read on a regular basis.

A computer lab is available to students, which includes access to the internet.  Please note — we do use a computer software to help protect students from visiting inappropriate websites not meant for children.

For free time, students can play games and do other fun activities indoors and outdoors.

At the end of the day, students at A Better World receive a meal before they go home Monday through Thursday.  On Fridays, students receive a backpack of non-perishable food to take home over the weekend. 

In keeping with our mission statement to transform the community and its families through its youth; by building their mental, emotional, and spiritual character, students can participate in group devotionals.

We have onsite professional counselors who provide a warm and safe environment for our  students to assist them with their mental, emotional and behavioral needs.

In partnership with Warehouse 242 Church, students are able to participate in a creative writing class.

Students can take a photography class.  This art provides them with a way to communicate how they see the world.  You can view some of their photographs displayed throughout our facility.

We offer supplemental educational services to students through our partnership with the Sylvan Learning Center.  For more information about Sylvan, please click here
