Overview
High Rocks – Patch 21 Jobs in West Virginia at AmeriCorps
The PATCH staff endeavor each year to offer programs that children are excited to participate in, and this maintains interest and involvement. Our program components are designed to help students and their families engage in healthy lifestyles through prevention activities, fitness, education, recreation, increased academic performance in basic skills, and increased emotional well-being for students and their families. Students will also participate in exciting enrichment activities in a peer group and become actively involved in their community through leadership, service learning, and community service projects. From entrepreneurial and job skill courses to heritage and traditional instruction (fiddle, guitar, quilting/crocheting, fly tying, etc) to science and technology, the courses offered through the PATCH program continue to offer students a choice of unique programs that “are intentional, involve choice, and develop the use of new and exciting opportunities for learning” which are key components to successful academic achievement as cited by research presented in the Harvard Family Research Project (HFRP, Feb. 2008). PATCH offers a variety of 94 different educational enrichment programs across the counties for grades Pre K-12 and their families and plans to keep the same success record at the schools, for the students, and for families that we serve.
