In 2002, the ATLAS/TANF After School Enrichment program  was started to give elementary students a place to go after the normal school day.  The goals of "Brighter Futures" were keeping kids off the streets and engaging them in many academically and socially enriching activities. Below you see pictures of some of the activities, and links to some works students produced.
