Programming
JAM Connect provides opportunities for learning, play, support, and connections in a space where students can express themselves.
Let's Experiment and Create
Use art and science to explore your world. Through engineering, creating, and collaborating, we can learn how to think critically and see beauty all around us. Encourage deeper thinking about the world utilizing the key ideas of science and art.
STEAM Connect
Look at daily experiments and future opportunities through the STEAM lens. Learn what connects Earth, science, technology, and innovation through hands-on experiences.
Mind and Heart
Learn how to discuss and improve emotional responses related to mental health through interaction, games, activities, and discussions.
Word Connect
Build language and communication skills through speech, acting, and writing projects using play and critical thinking.
Jamming Out
Use music to explore an area of interest and build creativity while working on collaboration and accomplishing a common goal.
Move Connect
Learn the characteristics of sportsmanship and teamwork by using game play and competition to point out growth areas and learn new things.
Let's Get Some Skills
Build skills for being healthy, engaged community members who live and work in the community with integrity, consistency, and empathy.
Prep, Prime, and Dine
Fostering basic comfort in the kitchen and increasing skills that allow youth to recognize, prep, and create healthy foods as they learn to try new things and embrace new cultures through meals.
That's Absurd!
Encourage discussion of struggles and successes in life. Youth are challenged to consider the perspective of others, reflect on ways others have provided structure to their lives, and critically think about the path they wish to walk.
