CalSERVES Afterschool Program
The CalSERVES afterschool program partners with six Santa Rosa elementary schools in two school districts to serve over 1,800 students each year providing academic support, enrichment, homework help, nutrition education and physical activities. The program serves children and families who are struggling with poverty and its associated challenges. CalSERVES uses AmeriCorps funding to staff their program and achieve low staff to student ratios. They have achieved excellent academic outcomes with a high English language learner population and demonstrates the power of nutrition and physical activity with their students. The Healthy Behaviors Learning Centers at Kawana Elementary and Taylor Mountain are located in Santa Rosa.
