Molly Berwanger, Site Coordinator
I am a certified teacher in English and sociology. I attended the University of Michigan for both my undergraduate degree (social anthropology) and masters degree (education). I have been with EMU Bright Futures at Wayne Memorial for four years, first as Assistant Site Coordinator, and now as Site Coordinator. I have also worked as a College Advisor for GEAR UP at WMHS. I absolutely love running Culture Club and Real Talk, as it allows me to share my passions with my students.
Mollie Crowl, Assistant Site Coordinator
I am a current Eastern Michigan University student majoring in art education with a minor in secondary psychology. I have always wanted to be in the field of education, and I greatly enjoy my time with EMU Bright Futures. In my free time, I enjoy writing and acrylic painting. Art Club and Creative Writing Club are two activities that are very important to me, and the time I spend with my students always puts a smile on my face. I am excited for the 2014-2015 school year, as it will be my second year with EMU Bright Futures, and I cannot imagine a better place to be while completing my education degree.
Program Description
Wayne Memorial High School Bright Futures is a safe, creative, and fun after school program that emphasizes academics and youth voice.
Everyday, students attend a club of their choice. All of the clubs include academic components – usually integrated into club activities. Clubs focus on arts, leadership, life skills, and recreation. Some of the art programs are Film Production, Improv Acting, Poetry/Creative Writing, Fashion Design, Arts & Crafts, and Photography. Leadership options include Young Men’s Leadership, Young Women’s Leadership, and the Young People’s Project (a math partnership with Adams Elementary). Clubs that offer life skills include Survival Skills, Nutritional Cooking, Cultural Real Talk, Sign Language, and Mad Scientist. Recreational activities include Sports Club, Cards and Board Games Club, Self Defense, and Anime.
The first hour of the day is AIM (Aspire, Invest, Make The Grade) time. During this period, students have the opportunity to work on, and receive help with, homework and classwork. AIM also allows students to work on their future plans. They can search for scholarships, complete college and job applications, or work on personal essays.
Our program runs through the school year, with an additional six weeks in the summer. During the school year, we meet Monday through Thursday from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. in room 13. Our summer program meets during the last two weeks of June until the end of July.
