Out-of-School Time Programs

Our Out-of-School Time programs partner with local West Michigan school districts serving youth Kindergarten through 9th grade. The programs enhance resiliency and strengthen young people through creative, community-based, and diverse educational experiences during non-school hours.  Building life-shaping character, fostering healthy relationships, and nurturing socially responsible civic behavior is what
our Out-of-School Time Programs strive for.

Project FOCUS

Project FOCUS (For Our Children’s Ultimate Success) provides individualized academic support to students while engaging participants in enrichment activities and field trips.

TrueNorth operates Project FOCUS at Baldwin, Hart, Hesperia, Holton, Muskegon Heights, Pentwater, Walkerville and White Cloud schools through a grant awarded by the Michigan Department of Education in collaboration with the Michigan Department of Lifelong Education, Advancement, and Potential, and the United States Department of Education.

The Pentwater location is funded by a separate grant from MiLEAP.
