Edison Schools and Boys & Girls Clubs of America Enter Into Partnership Wednesday, February 28, 2001 Edison announced that it is entering into an agreement with Boys & Girls Clubs of America to provide expanded before and after-school programs for students and families at five of its schools across the country. Funding for the pilot program will be raised from philanthropic sources. The goal of this project is to institute and operate full service Boys & Girls Clubs pilot sites for a period of three years at five Edison schools. The Clubs will offer before and after-school programs throughout the academic year. Project Learn, one of the programs, reinforces and enhances the skills and knowledge that young people learn at school through "high-yield" learning activities. The five pilot sites are being developed in the hope that they will serve as models to be replicated at Edison's schools nationwide. Back to News...
