The Model Program
The Power!Play Beyond School Grant Program involves implementing a model program that focuses on health, nutrition and fitness for children ages K-5th grade and 6th grade-12th grade. Each grant recipient must incorporate the core elements of the model program into their curriculum. Topics and materials in the model program were created to maximize the learning potential of participants in the program. Agencies will receive seed money to conduct a new model beyond school program or to enhance an existing one.
The PowerPlay! Grant Program is designed to provide positive beyond school programs for
youth ages 5-13. Beyond school programs keep youth safe and give them supervised and
structured activities. The Illinois Association of Park Districts' PowerPlay! Beyond School Grant Program will provide resources for grant recipients and information on how to obtain additional materials related to health, nutrition and fitness.
None is available.
