Operation Shoestring, Inc.

Operation Shoestring strives to eliminate academic, economic and social achievement gaps for children and families by creating a continuum of opportunity and support through long-term quality afterschool/summer programming with familial support. Their program provides daily academic enrichment through innovative, hands-on and experiential learning activities linked to concepts children learn during the school day. Their programmatic approach is to set educational goals based on children needs, use engaging and real world activities, assess children’s progress over time, and provide ongoing training for staff.
