The Reason Brenham GameChangers Provides Scholarships
Research shows that students who are in extracurricular activities, after-school programs and youth organizations/events show positive improvements in academic, education, social, civic, and physical development. Students want to participate because of excitement, enjoyment, and to be with peers. However, not all students and their families can afford the activity. There is consistent and strong evidence between participation and academic achievement, school completion, post-secondary educational attainment, lowered rates of smoking and drug use, and the quantity and quality of interaction between students and their parents. (Society for Research and Child Development, 2006; Developmental Psychology, 2008; BMC Public Health, 2015). The summary of research is found at:
