❤️ That's a Wrap on Afterschool! 📚

From homework help and tutoring sessions to games, field trips, and everyday moments of growth, this school year was filled with learning, laughter, and memories we'll never forget.

To our students, families, staff, volunteers, and supporters, thank you for being part of another incredible year. Because of you, our young people had a safe space to learn, grow, and thrive after the school bell rang.

Now, we're turning the page to our next chapter...

☀️ GOOD Summer Camp begins June 22!

We can't wait for a summer filled with adventure, enrichment, new friendships, and unforgettable experiences.
See you soon, GOODCampers! 🌟

National Gun Violence Awareness Month reminds us that prevention starts long before a crisis 🧡

Every young person deserves safe places to go, caring adults to turn to, and opportunities to grow.

At GOODProjects, we believe investing in youth programming, mentorship, family support, and community spaces is one of the most powerful ways to create safer neighborhoods.

Too often, conversations about community safety begin after something happens. We believe they should begin with opportunity.

When young people have access to after-school programs, summer camps, sports, arts, enrichment activities, and positive mentors, they gain more than something to do; they gain connection, support, and a community that believes in them.

In partnership with OVSJG, we're committed to building spaces where youth feel seen, supported, and empowered year-round.

🫶🏽Tag an organization in the comments that uplifts youth and supports the community year-round. 🤝🏽

Let's spread awareness of the people and programs doing GOOD every day❤️🧡

Closing out May ☀️❤️

A month full of growth, lessons, challenges, memories, and moments worth being grateful for.

As we head into June, take time to reset, recharge, and refocus on what matters most. Rest a little. Reflect a little. Give yourself credit for making it through another month 🌻

New month. Fresh energy. Same purpose.

A message from our Founder & CEO, Darius Baxter ❤️

“Summer is where confidence is built quietly. It’s where curiosity has room to grow.”

For many of the young people we serve, summer camp creates space for them to learn, grow, build confidence, and enjoy being kids.

It’s where friendships are built.
Where kids are reminded that they matter.
Where community shows up for them in meaningful ways.

With your support, we can continue creating safe spaces, opportunities, and experiences for children and families throughout the summer.

Help us make this season possible for our community:

Core memories were definitely made at Skyzone ⚡️

From flips and foam pits to nonstop laughs, this trip was all about letting loose, building confidence, and making memories together.

Nothing better than seeing our youth show up as themselves, cheer each other on, and enjoy the moment ❤️

We’re honored to share that GOODProjects has been selected as a 2026 HumanitiesDC Community Grant Recipient ❤️

With this support, we’ll launch “What’s the Point? Preserving Civic Memory in Southwest DC”, an oral history and storytelling project documenting the voices, experiences, and civic memory of longtime Southwest DC residents through intergenerational conversations and a public digital archive.

Grateful to @HumanitiesDC for investing in work that preserves community stories and strengthens connections across DC.

This project was supported by a grant from HumanitiesDC as part of an initiative funded by the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities.
