McCombs Club is for students in 6th-8th grade. The McCombs location partners with Des Moines Public Schools and is sponsored by United Way’s Emerging Leader Initiative.
Theatre, music, science, dance and various sports take place at McCombs Club. SMART girls inform adolescent girls of self-esteem, developmental health, fitness and reproductive education/prevention. Another program students can participate in is Young Men’s Club, which develops personal identities, positive decision-making, community involvement and health through curriculum. McCombs Club also offers the chance to listen to guest speakers about college prep and various career fields. “Kids in the Kitchen” offers students ages 9-18 the opportunity to create fun, healthy snacks to share with their families. Keystone Club is designed for teens to develop a sense of government. Keystone Club members run for office for different elected positions, learning how community leadership works.
**Power Hour takes place at all of our locations. It is one of our basic formats for academic programming and 1-2 hours a day are always set aside for academics. “Power Hour” is offered once daily during the school year, focusing on homework. During summer Club time, Power Hour is offered twice daily and teaches literacy and math competencies by using hands-on games and problem-solving activities. |
