School Community Program is a comprehensive education and
wellness program delivered at low-income schools in the DC
area. A Wider Circle, through its partnerships with local schools, reaches the entire school community
by providing resources to students, parents, faculty, and
staff. These resources are available year-round and include
enrichment programming, wellness workshops, and in-kind support.
This program recognizes that education for both youth and
adults is crucial in achieving the goal of ending poverty
in our lifetime.
