Fiver Middle School Curriculum Improvement

This grant will support the development of a standardized middle-school curriculum. Fiver Children’s Foundation provides a continuum of youth development services to economically disadvantaged children over a ten-year time period. Fiver wants to improve the middle-school component of Camp Fiver, its summer residential program that focuses on character building, health, environmental education, literacy, athletics, and high school preparation. Fiver lacks an organized, formal middle-school curriculum, which has led to unprepared staff and inconsistent program delivery. Fiver will designate key staff members to create a new curriculum for each program area. Staff preparation and training will also be included in the improvement.
