The City of Apalachicola and Franklin County School Board (FCSB) have partnered to provide Afterschool and Summer Camp programs through Project Impact. The programs are offered at threes sites including the Franklin County Consolidated School in Eastpoint, Apalachicola Bay Charter School, and at the new City of Apalachicola Recreational Complex at the former Apalachicola High School. The Project Impact Office is co-located at the fieldhouse of AHS with the Franklin County Library Tigers Program.
The building has been refurbished to include a classroom and computer lab for Project Impact, with the gymnasium reopened for students 3:00PM to 6:00PM and available for public use 6:00PM to 9:30PM weekdays, and managed by volunteers on the weekends. The gym will be available for special programs upon request by contacting the City of Apalachicola at (850) 653-9319.

Project Impact initiated the City’s Afterschool program in February and is continuing to accept students including elementary through high school. Afterschool services are provided free of charge and include homework help, targeted tutoring, educational enhancement, recreational activities, and arts education. A full-time program will be offered in the summer weeks with the first sessions running June 15th – July 2nd , and second session running July 13th – July 30th. Enrollment for the City’s Summer Camp program will begin after spring break and is accessible online at www.projectimpactfcs.org or you may contact the program office at (850) 323-0231 or the coordinator of each site. Summer programs will be offered at all three sites with the ABC site focusing on recreation and academic enrichment, the high school site focusing on credit recovery and enrichment, and the City of Apalachicola site focusing on academics and an enriched arts and culture program.
Project Impact is funded by the 21st Century Community Learning Centers grant program to support the creation of community learning centers that provide academic enrichment opportunities for children, particularly students who attend high-poverty and low performing schools. The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.
