Why Our Work is Important
SKJAJA is committed to ensuring that every student in Chapel Hill-Carrboro has access to meaningful out-of-school enrichment activities and transformational service opportunities. We believe that every child deserves to explore their passions and discover who they are outside the classroom and as citizens of the world.
As schools pivot and rebound from the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, extracurricular activities and community connection are more essential than ever to the social, emotional and mental health of students in grades K-12. SKJAJA is committed to working with Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools (CHCCS) to support our youth through this transition and beyond.
​
