Afterschool learning center: The Common Good has an afterschool learning program for children at wayman tisdale academy, a public elementary school in tulsa school district. The learning center is designed for children that have been affected by "trauma" that affects their learning and emotional state. We typically have 80 children every school day for 3 hours afterschool. The children's ages are 7 through 11 or elementary school ages.
Senior support program: we host 40 to 50 senior adults from The neighborhood each morning at our work out room and cafe. The seniors have exercise programs, have access to our exercise equipment, and are fed either a meal or snack each morning. This helps build community for The seniors in The neighborhood, in addition to providing healthy choices for them. We also have seniors walking in The gym, playing table tennis, working puzzles, cards and dominos most mornings.

In addition, we held soccer practice and team games during The spring and summer with over 50 kids participating. We have "open gym" night five nights a week for younger kids and for middle school aged kids. In addition, sports are introduced to our kids attending The afterschool learning center each day.
