No Boredom (Afternoon Care at Erich Kästner School)

The BürgerStiftung Alfeld supports the afternoon care at the Erich Kästner School in Lower Saxony with the grant "Without Boredom." Public institutions can submit applications year-round to ensure reliable care services and implement targeted learning support. The program's goal is to provide students with a space where, alongside catching up on learning deficits, playful and creative activities can also take place. Through financial support, care costs are covered, and the school is enabled to offer an expanded care and support program tailored to the individual needs of the children.

The grant is aimed at all schoolchildren of the Erich Kästner School in Alfeld who require accompanying services beyond regular lessons. The funding program not only strengthens academic performance but also promotes social skills and a sense of community. A focus is placed on practical support by experienced professionals and volunteers who design the afternoon with meaningful activities—from homework assistance to creative workshops. Interested public providers can apply at any time and thus contribute to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to realize their potential and experience a varied leisure time.
