Children
Each week, nearly 150 students attend the Breakthrough Enrichment Program hosted by CDC and an incredible team of nearly 40 volunteers! On Tuesdays from 6-8 p.m., Breakthrough meets at Metropolitan United Methodist Church on Woodward. Transportation is provided to and from the enrichment program for children in our service area. During their time there, the children are first served dinner, then go through a three-part rotation of creative arts, academic enrichment, and Bible time. The goal for the creative arts component is to give children exposure to a range of arts including visual arts, drama, dance, and music that have been cut from the Detroit Public Schools curriculum. The goal of the academic room is to reinforce the skills learned in the classroom and to help children maintain grade-level progress. The goal of Bible class is to give students a foundational understanding of Scripture as well as an introduction to the good news of Jesus Christ. The mission of the Breakthrough Enrichment Program overall is to create a safe haven where youth are equipped and empowered as well-rounded people, thereby building their community. In all that, some weeks it's hard to tell who's learning more, the children or their teachers! For more information, e-mail Tony McDuffy.
