Success Through Self Academy (STS)

21st CENTURY - High School Youth. During the last school year, the organization provided activities and services to about 3,000 students from the two local high schools before and after school. A primary program at Black Diamond Continuation High School was the Job Readiness Program, before school math tutoring, and an art mural class. At Pittsburg High School, several career and employment pathway programs were taught after school, like the pathway to construction; fun enrichment classes were taught, and homework assistance and tutoring/mentoring were provded to students in need. Teens2Teach are high school youth who excel in school. We give them training and work experience as tutors, and in return they help with homework and tutoring of other teens as well as children who are struggling with their studies. The organization helps student athletes understand the importance of being a good student as well as athlete. The organization mentors and tutors athletes daily to help them stay current with homework and explain concepts with tutoring to reduce these students' academic struggles. We have programming at a reduced level in the summertime. Teen Center - The organization also sponsors a teen center where teens can play ping pong, games, lift weights, and have after school food to maintain a fun environment that is safe after classes.

PUSD-ELOP The ELOP program is the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program and provides funding for afterschool and summer school enrichment programs for kindergarten through sixth grade as set forth in California ED Code.

The organization administers The Learning Center program, which focuses attention on children from Kindergarten through 7th grade. Before and after school care is provided to low-income working parents. After school, enrichment, recreational activities give kids a chance to burn off energy and have fun. But every work day, all children are assisted to complete their homework to insure academic success. We tutor children and have institued a new program to help the little ones achieve grade level reading. Children receive nutritional meals while at The Center. STS Academy also provides transportation to school and from school to the Center as a service to working parents and guardians.
