From the supplier: After-schools programs may be implemented to ensure that students use their free time more productively. It may also allow a more organized and better monitored youth development, specially when there is no parental guidance, ideal models and community opportunities. The development of after-school programs becomes more crucial in poor communities, where there are high incidences of unemployment and insufficient income. These programs are important because they help in minimizing juvenile problems, such as gang involvement, alcohol and drug abuse and school dropouts.
