On May 30, Compassionate Schools Project program manager Joan Bryant conducted training in the Flourishing Students Group curriculum with five team members in the Backside Learning Center (BLC) at Churchill Downs in Louisville, KY. The BLC is an independent non-profit organization that provides support and resources to the diverse community of racetrack workers and their families.

Flourishing Students Group sessions incorporate core content and practices from the evidence-based Flourish curriculum and may be provided in school or out-of-school time settings. Beginning this fall, the BLC team plans to incorporate the group sessions into their multi-faceted after-school program, which includes food literacy, homework support, art, games, and reading and literacy support.

The Compassionate Schools Project is grateful for the opportunity to work with the dynamic and caring team of Backside Learning Center professionals who are dedicated to providing educational support to youth and serving as a “home away from home” for the backside community.
