Programs
AfterSchool Academy
Each week, Monday through Thursday, kindergarten through 5th grade students return to The Foundry Center for our 5-star after-school program, rated by the Kentucky All-Star Childcare system.
They begin the afternoon with a meal before moving on to homework. Volunteers provide each student with individual attention as they complete their work, helping them develop strong reading skills. We teach children the importance of successfully completing their homework, not only to improve their performance in school, but also to instill responsibility in their daily lives.

Summer Enrichment Camp
Summer can be detrimental for low-income students who, on average, lose two months in reading achievement and math computation skills. To prevent learning loss that increases the education gap for children in poverty, The Foundry offers a five-week summer Enrichment Camp.
At 8:30 A.M., groups of neighborhood children, from kindergarten to 5th grade, and volunteers from local churches and the community arrive ready and excited to enjoy a range of enrichment activities, including gardening, art, games, team-building exercises, and a daily devotion time.
For more information, email Tonya Naftel, Education Director, at tnaftel@thefoundrybg.org.
