Camp Fire USA City of Grand Rapids Parks and Recreation Department United Methodist Community House (UMCH) and the YMCA of Greater Grand Rapids manage the after school sites in collaboration with GRPS. These providers have expertise in youth development and coordinate with many other community partners to provide a variety of youth enrichment activities.
The goal of the LOOP is to meet the out-of-school time needs of area children. In a recent community survey 90 % of parents said after school programs are an important part of helping their children achieve academically and personally and 87% of parents said they would like to see an after school program for kids in every public elementary and middle school.
The LOOP after school program was developed through the Expanded Learning Opportunities (ELO) Initiative in partnership with the Grand Rapids Public Schools. The ELO Initiative is a coalition of over 120 community partners co-chaired by Grand Rapids Mayor George Heartwell and Brian Craig of ProgressiveAE. ELO is working to ensure that every child in the City of Grand Rapids has access to quality after school programs and a LOOP program in every elementary and middle school.
