Every school day ends differently for every child. For some, it means heading home to finish homework around the kitchen table. For others, it means finding a safe place to spend the afternoon while parents finish work. At JAM Center, those afternoon hours become opportunities to learn, build confidence and create meaningful relationships with caring adults. That is why volunteers play such an important role in our after-school program.
