    Unleashing Potential Registration 2025-26 Ferguson-Florissant

  • Unleashing Potential provides after care in the Ferguson - Florissant school district at Berkeley, Griffith, Robinwood, and Combs through a 21st Century Learning Center grant.  This funding allows us to offer the program at no cost to the families at these locations.  Our program is not a drop-in service but is dedicated to families in need of consistent and daily care.  Once your child has been approved for a slot, it is expected that your child attends the program daily.  

     

    A separate application is required for each child.

     

    The application takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete online. Supporting documents can be emailed to ljacobs@upstl.org. You will receive an email upon submission. Please allow up to two weeks for processing and notification of a slot. 

  • At this time, we can only accommodate after care services. We will notify all parents if we are able to offer additional programming.
