Youth Programs
Dumas Wesley’s After School Achievement Program (ASAP) and Summer Recreation Program has been in existence for over 50 years. The programs serve school-age children in the Crichton, Toulminville and Mobile community. Children enjoy a variety of academic and character-enhancing activities including: homework assistance, STEAM workshops, career exploration, recreation, educational field trips, and a five-day trip to Camp Blue Lake in the summer.
Youth Program Goals:
- To provide a safe, structured environment for community youth,
- To build an interest and expose students to STEAM opportunities (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math),
- To offer rich cultural experiences that nurture a child’s sense of heritage and understanding of their broader world,
- To foster talents in the arts, sports, trades, and technology,
- To teach children the core value of integrity and to act with courage, honesty, and respect in their relationships and daily interactions.
