"ASSIST" AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM
Assisting families by filling in the gap between school and home

In basketball, an assist is attributed to a player who passes the ball to a teammate in a way that leads to a score. We are purposed in the same idea. We are here to fill in the gap between school and home. Assist is not just a place for children to be “watched”. We will reinforce learned scholastic concepts while nourishing areas of struggle and developing social and spiritual character. Your child is destined to win the game of life and we want to assist in making sure that it happens!

WHICH SCHOOLS DOES THE PROGRAM SERVE?
The program's van route is all determined by the amount of students we have who sign up for the program and the schools they attend. We typically pick up from the NRMPS "Rocky Mount city schools" as they are in close proximity of each other but it does NOT mean we aren't able to pick students up from other schools. If your child's school is not listed below, please contact us to see if we can accommodate your family.
