An Array of Charm, "AAOC," was founded in January of 2004. The program was designed to teach young girls through classes in etiquette, manners, and character to become tomorrow’s “young ladies.” Since that time, our mission and programs have grown both in depth and in scope. Our desire to dig deeper is grounded in our belief that every child can achieve his or her goals, despite their current circumstances.

Metro Parks and Recreation summer and afterschool program for middle-schoolers is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where youth feel socially and emotionally safe, positive youth development principles prevail, and learning is fun and engaging. We create an out-of-school-time culture where youth can develop untapped potential, feel empowered to learn about themselves, and are given opportunities to engage in their community. Our activity offerings include: • STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) • Service-Learning • Social & Emotional Learning • Nutrition, Health, & Wellness.
