Welcome to the MAGIC of Afterschool!
Making a Greater Investment in our Children, Communities, and City


Mission: The Propel Afterschool Program will work with the school, the family and the
community to provide academic support and enrichment, opportunities in the arts and sciences, lessons on healthy lifelong habits and skills, and connections among families, schools, and communities.

Belief Statement: Extended Learning Time that has a base in clear goals, available data, and research-based practices can enhance learning during the regular day and make a dramatic difference in
children’s lives.

Afterschool MAGIC is committed to our afterschool goals:

  • Improve academic achievement (homework help and tutoring)
  • Encourage healthy lifelong skills (art, physical education, STEAM, social-emotional learning, nutrition)
  • Provide resources for children and families. (family engagement activities)
  • Connect with Communities (Advisory Board, community partners, and Service Learning)

Activities provided include academic support, art, science, physical education, healthy lifestyles, nutrition, and a nutritious snack or dinner depending on the Propel school.
