| Project Afterschool Resource Cencter (ARC) II | ||
| Founded in 1872, Firman Community Services began life as a settlement house assisting immigrants from Europe and poor Southern migrants in the U.S. in finding jobs and housing. It is Firman's vision to help create and anchor a strong, positive foundation for children, as a critical first step toward success in life.
Firman Community Services is one of the premiere human services providers of educational and other support services for at-risk youth in Chicago. Firman Community Services' 21st Century Community Learning Resource Center's ARC (Afterschool Resource Center) Program was created as a result of the No Child Left Behind Act 2001 which was designed to build a stronger educational foundation for children. Funded by the U.S. Department of Education Project ARC is Firman's answer to the elimination of the academic distress that plagues our society. |

| "Even after four years of public schooling, most students perform proficiency in both reading and mathematics. Minority and disadvantaged students are most at risk for falling behind." - U.S. Department of Education, Office of the Secretary, Office of Public Affairs, A Guide to Education and No Child Left Behind, Washington, D.C., 2004.
