Through two 21st Century Community Learning Centers Grants, 15 Oregon schools in Bethel, Eugene, and Springfield provide free/low cost after school and evening programs for grade K-8 students and families. Over 30 community organizations have partnered with BEST to provide these programs, which offer a safe haven at school sites for students. They receive academic assistance, and participate in a variety of recreational activities. A family enrichment program includes foreign language and ESL classes, family crafts, open computer labs, and parent support groups.
