Abstract
After-school activities have many confirmed benefits for students of all ages. Solid programs can help kids find lifelong passion or help them stay in the classroom. Unfortunately, not all programs are well run and the kids do not have the ability to change their environment. That means the responsibility for running an effective program for kids falls upon the adults in charge. Numerous studies have already shown the positive benefits of extracurricular programs. This thesis explores some of the ways that parents, coaches, mentors, teachers, and other facilitators can foster positive relationships with children and create an environment that encourages growth and development.
