When the final school bell rings, many students face uncertain afternoons with limited safe and enriching options. At the Training Center, we provide a welcoming space where children in Marion can thrive beyond the classroom.

​

​

Our afterschool program is a place where students find academic support, creative enrichment, and social-emotional learning that helps them grow as whole individuals. Children enjoy healthy snacks and meals, engage in hands-on projects, receive individualized homework help and tutoring, and develop life skills that build confidence and resilience.

​

Our program is completely free, ensuring all students have access to opportunities that inspir curiosity and big dreams.

​

Research shows that quality afterschool programs improve school attendance, boost academic achievement, and support mental well-being. Yet nationally, for every child enrolled, three more are waiting for a spot. The need in our community is just as urgent! By investing in the Training Center's afterschool programming this back-to-school season, you will help provide a safe, supportive environment where children will build skills, explore their passions, and prepare for a brighter future.​
