The Fishing School programs aim to help children develop into independent, productive and contributing members of society, who rise above daily challenges and open their eyes to a world of possibilities.

The Fishing School transformed the Allen family.

“I can not count all the time, energy and money that was given to me...I thank God for all of you.” - William Allen, Jr., TFS parent 

The Fishing School’s experienced teachers provide students with academic tutoring and instruction in math, reading and financial and computer literacy during its after school program which operates in two community-based centers. To encourage personal growth, students participate in self esteem, leadership development and character building activities. In addition, through community partnerships, TFS offers off-site instruction in the fine arts of dance and music. TFS provides students with transportation from school as well as a nutritious snack and a hot dinner. 

The Summer Enrichment Program

The TFS Summer Enrichment Program offers students academic enrichment, recreational and cultural activities. Students participate in reading, math, computer technology, financial literacy in the morning. In the afternoon, recreational activities include swimming, ice and roller skating and trips to the museums. In addition, this program offers weekly field trips. Students are served breakfast and lunch. The program begins the last week in June and operates weekdays from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The Female Youth Enrichment Program

This program offers girls (ages 8 -13) self esteem, leadership development, and character building activities that focus on the theme “Be Transformed through the Renewing of Your Mind.” Volunteer speakers provide inspirational talks on traditional and nontraditional female career choices, goal setting, and health and wellness topics. The girls also participate in a variety of arts and crafts activities and take monthly field trips. The program operates every Saturday at the Wylie Street location.
