An exciting new after school program is now at City Park Community Center.  Club Hero is a program that teaches drug, alcohol, and violence prevention.  It also teaches life skills and self-esteem building through a fun and entertaining curriculum.  The program meets from 4:00pm to 6:00 pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday throughout the school year and is aimed at helping high-risk middle school students.

Club Hero works on an incentive program that allows students to earn points by achieving accomplishments, such as improving grades, participating in community programs, and doing chores at home.  They then redeem points for Club Hero items.

The program is instructed by certified teachers from the Griffin-Spalding School District.  These teachers provide tutoring with an emphasis on math and language arts.  Parents are also encouraged to participate in Club Hero.  Teachers and parents meet monthly to evaluate student's progress and to map out goals.

Club Hero is free to all students and is funded by The Council on Alcohol  and Drugs.
