Detail: The mission of Rising TIDE @ MKEC is to empower children and youth of low income, multicultural families of the greater Long Beach area through academic support, tutoring, mentoring, cultural enrichment, arts, sports, supervised recreation, and other after school programs. After school, children and youth come to Rising TIDE to receive one-on-one help with homework, read with a reading partner, eat healthy snacks, learn how to make good choices, engage in safe play with friends, play educational/fun games on the computer, participate in cultural enrichment clubs, and get excited about learning. Two tracks of clubs are offered most days from 4:30 - 5:15 and 5:45 - 6:30 p.m. On Mondays, there is only one track from 4:30 - 5:30 p.m. because of tutoring at 6:30 p.m. The After School Program for Tutoring and Mentoring is staffed by high school youth, young adults, and adults (many of whom are parents of children/youth in the program). It operates Monday - Thursday from 2:30 - 6:30, with extended hours on Monday because of a Monday Night Tutoring program for children, Kindergarten through 8th Grade. We are currently running a pilot homework study session for Middle School and High School students, Monday - Thursday, from around 6:30 when the Center closes to 8:30 p.m. Incentives are offered to the children and youth to encourage reading, attendance and responsible behavior.
