Helping kids to succeed

Extended Learning Opportunities (ELO) are after school, before school, or summer programs for children ages 5-18.

These programs create environments outside of the classroom that foster growth, personal development, and further education of children and young adults. The most successful of these are tied directly back to work done in the classroom.

In your community, these programs can improve school attendance and performance, provide greater stability in families, and even prevent crime.

Extended Learning Opportunities enjoy tremendous public support, as well as support from educators and others committed to the positive development of children and young adults.

We hope that you will find this site useful for beginning an ELO program in your community.
