After School Academics and Arts Program Ribbon Cutting

While serving in the children’s ministry of her church, Nicole Jones began dreaming of the day that she and her husband Van could embark on their “labor of love”: to develop an after school and summer program for working families; one where God would come first and students would be able to explore their academic and artistic gifts. From that dream Van and Nicole Jones founded After School Academics and Arts Program, a ministry based on three principles: Creating an environment focused on God’s Love, helping students identify their God given gifts, and encouraging quality family time.
