College Reach-Out Program (CROP)

In partnership with Flagler College and the Buckingham-Smith Benevolent Association, the College Reach-Out Program is designed for middle and high school students who have the potential to attend college, but not the resources.

ReCharge!

Sponsored by the Jacksonville Jaguar Foundation, ReCharge! is a new after-school program designed to help students learn about and practice good nutrition and physical activity habits through fun, team-based strategies. It focuses on four core-concepts:

"Energy In" (nutrition)
"Energy Out" (physical activity)
Teamwork
Goal-setting

Through ReCharge! students will learn how and why to eat healthy and be physically active and believe in the benefits of these healthy behaviors. They will practice healthy habits by eating health foods and engaging in physical activity. And by doing this they will develop transferable life skills including healthy eating, physical activity, teamwork, and goal setting that they can apply outside the after school environment.
