REAL HOPE YOUTH CENTER'S MISSION IS TO INSPIRE REAL HOPE FOR ALL YOUTH TO BECOME CARING, PRODUCTIVE, RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS THROUGH RECREATION, EDUCATION, ARTS, AND LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES. OUR PROGRAM IS AN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM HELD FROM 3:00-6:00 PM EACH SCHOOL DAY FOR ANY CHILD IN GRADES 1-6 AT THE CENTRAL COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTER ON JONES BEND ROAD EXTENDED IN PARIS, TN. WE PROVIDE RECREATION, VOLUNTEER TUTORS TO ASSIST IN HOMEWORK, ART CLASSES, HEALTY SNACKS, COMPUTER LAB, MUSIC AND DRAMA. REAL HOPE YOUTH CENTER WAS CHARTERED ON MARCH 31, 2010 AND WE OPENED ON AUGUST 23, 2010 WITH AN ENROLLMENT OF 10 CHILDREN. OUR POTENTIAL ENROLLMENT IS 50 CHILDREN, AND WE HAVE AN AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE OF 30 STUDENTS. OUR LARGEST EXPENDITURES HAVE SEEN US ACCOMPLISH STAFFING OF A PROGRAM DIRECTOR AND 3 TEACHERS, PROVIDING A ROTATION OF RECREATION, EDUCATION, ARTS AND LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES BASED ON THE CHILD'S AGE.
