Benefits Of Before And After School Teen Programs Matthews NC

By Margaret Jackson


A huge task that parents have is guiding their children especially when they are in the adolescent stage. Many of them get lost to drug abuse and take part in criminal activities. Their moral behaviors are also affected and they are exposed to early pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. The reason for these issues is the lack of guidance and having a lot of free time. The following are the benefits of before and after school teen programs Matthews NC.

One of the reasons why these clubs are crucial is that school academic performance is improved. Community learning courses or clubs have helped youths a lot to better their reading skills. The courses have also enhanced performance in mathematics and other sciences. Attending the clubs after the normal lessons enable youths to revise what they learned during the day and ask queries where they have problems from tutors or fellow students.

Similarly, family relationships are improved. Working parents are often concerned about the activities of their kids after school. The worry is reduced when teenagers join clubs because the parents know where they are after or before school. Apart from that, parents who have a free schedule get to spend time with their children during this time which improves relationships and strengthens the bond. Parents can even learn the challenges faced by their children.

Again, the clubs help improve the social life of kids. Adolescence can be very disturbing for kids. Some feel inferior because they are taller than other kids or because of their voice. They, therefore, prefer spending time alone hence affecting their social skills. But with the clubs, they get to meet other children who are undergoing what they are undergoing hence learning to cope. Those with social anxiety also learn to cope slowly until it becomes easy to interact.

Also, the courses enhance physical activity. Before and after school courses that involve sports and athletics can help children a lot. Aside from keeping them physically fit, the exercise helps prevent disease like obesity and diabetes. Due to that, they become healthier and happier. Those with talents in various sports get to realize their talents and develop them through these physical activities too.

Youths are at the highest risk of getting into drug abuse during adolescence. Due to that, it is good to take all measures possible to fight drug and substance abuse among the youths. Community learning clubs can help a lot especially when parents of the students come together to hire a counselor. Similarly, by taking up most of the time for the students or youths, the courses reduce free time when students can easily find themselves abusing drugs.

An overall improved classroom behavior is another reason these clubs are important. Student fears missing out on certain activities in the clubs hence are forced to behave properly during school time to avoid being left at school when others leave for home.

In conclusion, they lead to improved leadership skills. In school, there are few leadership positions hence only a few teens get the opportunity to practice their leadership abilities. However, in these programs, there are very many opportunities for volunteering in leadership roles.
