Palama Settlement offers an afterschool program, targeted specifically to the low-income and at-risk elementary school students in the Palama area, who have little to no adult supervision at home after-school, need assistance with completing homework assignments, and who present with challenging behaviors that require nurturing and guidance to address. Over the last year of its operation, and since they moved into the space in the Rath Building, they have more than 40 children registered, and regular attendance averages between 8 to 15. Homework completion has increased, behaviors have radically improved, and children are even getting additional education in areas such as geography, American history, reading and writing.
