The primary mission of Allied Resources
for Kids is to involve Camden students from grades 5-12 in academic
enrichment and extracurricular activities before school, after
school, on the weekends, and during the summer increasing the amount
of adult supervision each child receives, increasing student attendance
and performance at school and enabling students to develop reinforcing
peer relationships. Through
these efforts A.R.K. will develop a network of partners from the
following sectors: secondary education, higher education, health
care, grassroots organizations, and private industry to provide comprehensive
quality programming for Camden’s youth.
As the cost of college continues to
rise annually far outstripping the median income for a typical
Camden family, there is a great need among the students of this
community to receive financial assistance in order to attend college. The
ARK provides scholarships to cover incidental costs such as books,
transportation and computers that loans and grants do not provide.
To date the Ark has awarded over 50 scholarships
to Camden Academy Charter High School graduates attending college.
We have also provided scholarships to allow students to attend summer
programs such as Outward Bound, and college prep classes.
If you would like to invest in the future of the youth of Camden
please call Melanie James at 856 365 1000 ex. 321
