Friends of Exuma to support New programs in 2023

Friends of Exuma is excited to announce three new programs that will be receiving support for 2023.

Boys and Girls Club of the Exuma Christian Academy

The BCG of the Exuma Christian Academy is a mentorship and tutorship program with the intention of improving Math and Reading skills of students from Kindergarten to Fifth Grade who are performing below grade level. The goal is to provide an after-school environment with access to trained teachers between 3:15 and 4:15pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from January to June 2023. Parents may enroll children who qualify free of charge in this program. At the end of the term, the student will be tested and evaluated to determine if they are at an adequate ability for their grade, or if they will need to continue with the program. Friends of Exuma will be assisting with the funds necessary to compensate tutors and for testing and teaching materials.
