PwrHrs is an afterschool program serving youth (K-8) through a tiered experience of homework help, tutoring, experiential learning, social-emotional skill building, and clubs driven by both student and school interests, passions, and needs. The program at each school site is licensed through the Colorado Department of Health and Human Services.
The PwrHrs Coordinator is at the helm of the program at their school site. With assistance from YouthPower365, they guide both its daily activities and development. With YouthPower365 resources and support, the coordinator outreaches to students and families, making sure both have access to services through PwrHrs, and in turn, that the kids who need it the most, are connected. The coordinator also supports PwrHrs instructors in providing meaningful opportunities. Working with YouthPower365 staff and resources, the coordinator makes both teacher and student dream “afterschool” experience a reality, while meeting individual school goals for kids and families.
