21st Century Learning Centers
Four Nita M. Lowey 21st Century Community Learning Centers provide academic enrichment and eliminate transportation barriers for under-resourced students. The federal 21st CCLC program has allowed us to build and sustain an out-of-school-time program with schools that assists in high-quality academic enrichment opportunities to students attending under-resourced schools.
Whole Child Approach
Maryvale Village’s Stewart Branch participates in our Whole Child Approach (WCA) program. The WCA initiative addresses emotional and behavioral challenges facing our Club members by having Wellness Coaches onsite daily who can help members build healthy resilience skills. In partnership with Terros Health, our Wellness Coaches work with staff to provide wellness techniques and recreation supporting Club members and helping to identify and address social and behavioral health challenges.
AZYouthforce
Maryvale Club members have the opportunity to participate in our premier workforce development program, AZYouthforce. AZYouthforce is an internship program that provides valuable training before connecting teenagers with a paid internship in leading industries. From Jiffy Lube to Bank of America, Club members have the opportunity to explore career pathways with the support of our AZYouthforce Case Managers.
