Organization Description ProYouth provides comprehensive expanded learning programs at the elementary, middle, and high school sites throughout Tulare and Monterey Counties. We provide services from the time school is out, until 6:00 in the evening. Our programs are funded by a combination of California’s After School Education and Safety (ASES) grants, federal 21st Century Community Learning Centers grants, school district investments, and foundation and corporate contributions. Our proven approach creates a positive learning environment that integrates youth development principles, provides academic support, and focuses on innovative Project-Based Learning experiences.
