21st Gives Back: SHADES

My team volunteered with SHADES of Development yesterday. SHADES is an after-school program that has several locations across Knox County. They provide Extended Learning Programs during out of school time to students Pre-K through 8th grade. The programs are in a school based setting and focus on an adventure learning approach to support social, emotional, and cognitive growth. During our visit we built a shopping stand that the children will be able to play with as a mock grocery store and helped a group of preschoolers make sensory bottles out of orbeez.
