| From September
through May of every year, NCC’s AAA After
School Tutoring Program operates five days a week for the duration of
the
school year. We
focus on our children’s
spiritual and academic enrichment as well as creatively incorporating
the arts
to develop and encourage creative skills.
Retired certified public school teachers lead
our programs along with
help from tutors and committed volunteers.
Students receive assistance with homework,
academic enrichment drills
and exercises to improve math skills.
Students receive increased technological
skills through daily access
to a computer lab and time set
aside for increased reading and literacy development.
Once a week, students also receive
instruction in the arts through NCC’s partnership with local visual
artists,
dancers, musicians and writers from within our community. |

Created specifically
for the needs of K-2nd graders, NCC
Prep acts as a practical solution to the underdeveloped skills of young
children in our community as they prepare to enter kindergarten. During this program we
spend 5 weeks every
summer providing developmentally appropriate experiences to enhance a
child's
intellectual, social, emotional, spiritual and physical development
through
fun, hands-on activities.
*Students in these summer programs receive academic
instruction 7 hours a day, 5 days a week for 5 weeks as well as a
healthy
breakfast, lunch and snacks on a daily basis.
In addition to academics, we teach our
students practical life skills
and well as exposing them to a variety of speakers from our community
in order
to provide a variety of influences for each child.* |

Every summer, NCC
provides instruction in Bible Study,
academic enrichment, to at-risk children (grades 3rd-12th.) for a
period of 5
weeks. Every year,
certified public
school teachers, teacher’s assistants and volunteers come together to
share the
gospel of Jesus Christ through building
relationships with over 100 students (and
their parents) through active
participation in academics, athletics and the arts.

| A two week
performing arts camp for at-risk youth is held
every summer at Belhaven
College
as part of a partnership with the Belhaven Theatre Academy. This camp for 6th – 12th
graders, maintains
an enrollment of over 50 students every year. Students are taught new
skills
and exposed to new opportunities through instruction in drama, music,
dance and
stage production. At
the end of the two
weeks, students showcase their talents by performing a full length
musical for
the community. |

| Mr. Marshall Magee provides music
instruction to the children at NCC's Ash Street Center every Friday.
This is a good time for all the children to participate and
enjoy
singing and music on a regular basis. |

Consider becoming a
Christmas box
packer!
or Adopt-a-Family for Christmas!
Who receives Christmas boxes?
Around 350 families!
The holiday season is particularly important because it
allows us a special time to foster relationships with the families of
the
children in our programs as well as others in the community (we give
priority
to elderly and disabled citizens) by providing them with everything
they need
to serve a Christmas dinner.
What
is in a
Christmas box?
An example of a Christmas box includes: 3 cans of vegetables,
4 boxes of Mac and Cheese, 2 cans
of evaporated milk, margarine, canned cranberry sauce, cake mix and
frosting, flour,
corn meal, sugar and one chicken.
