POWER Program

Program Description

After-school activities are offered in all 12 Salem-Keizer middle schools. Activities are offered two to five days per week for up to 1½ hours after school. Activities are selected to promote outstanding work, education, and recreation in youth, including a wide array of academic, athletic, fine arts, community service, and enrichment activities. Field trips are offered as often as once per week to expose youth to opportunities they may not otherwise have.

Mission Statement

The POWER Program, based on positive youth development, seeks to enhance the lives of Salem-Keizer middle school youth by increasing positive academic and social behaviors.  POWER accomplishes this by providing safe, structured, drug-free after-school activities designed to promote outstanding work, education, and recreation in youth.
