GLAD After-School Tutoring

Mission
We work with kids and families from the neighborhood of East Chattanooga to help kids grow academically, socially, and spiritually while seeking to bring them and their family into the body of the church.

About Us

GLAD (Glenwood Learning and Adventure Days) is a mentoring program designed to reach out to the children of the surrounding community. GLAD focuses on academic enrichment, social and emotional development, and spiritual discipleship. We work with elementary aged children (K - 5) and depend on volunteers to assist us in ministering to the children we serve.  

We primarily focus on reading intervention. Our students receives 30 minutes of one on one instruction at least three times a week.

GLAD Camp

GLAD Summer Camp is a full-day, five week program, operating Monday through Thursday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., followed by a one-week overnight camp in late July. A central priority of our summer programming is providing a safe, nurturing environment.

Another core focus is to provide enriching educational opportunities to expand their worldview. Weekly field trips and an overnight camp expose our students to new environments and ideas. Our daily schedule integrates three essential areas of development:

Academic Development
  • Reading enrichment
  • STEM enrichment
Social Development
  • Emotional awareness and regulation
  • Relationship-building with counselors
Spiritual Development
  • Daily devotions
  • Daily worship
  • Vacation Sunday School (an eight-week summer program)
