| Up On Top is housed at the Unitarian Universalist Center at
Franklin and Geary, and the
First Unitarian Universalist Society of San Francisco was another
original co-sponsors. Up On Top has been an independent 501 (c)
(3) charity since 2003. Up On Top has partnered with
John Swett Elementary School because this school presents the most
need in the neighborhood. Neither the school, San Francisco Unified School
District, nor other community agencies offers any after-school programs for
the 300+ students attending John Swett.
Although most families at the school qualify for the free- or
reduced-cost lunch program, none of the families who registered for Up On
Top are receiving state or local child care subsidies. They meet
eligibility requirements, but the programs are not adequately funded to
provide the money. Up On Top has stepped in with no-cost
after-school child care. |
