The Green Dot Comprehensive After School Program

Green Dot Public Schools is proud to offer our students the opportunity to participate in our comprehensive after school program.  

It is our mission to enhance students' abilities to succeed in college, leadership, and life by providing students and families opportunities to explore their passions, become better prepared for college, and engage intellectually and socially on a level that is unable to be reached during the regular school day.

The Green Dot After School Program provides a safe place that is open to every student, which allows students to improve their college-readiness, career goals, leadership skills, their emotional and physical health, and their individual passions.

School Counseling Overview

The Green Dot School Counseling program is a comprehensive model that focuses on the five competencies of college, leadership, life, school site responsibilities, and parent and community engagement. Counselors at Green Dot Public Schools are responsible for providing counseling and guidance services to all students, with a particular emphasis on preparing students for college.  This includes ensuring that students have taken the necessary coursework to fulfill the California State University and University of California A-G requirements and the appropriate college entrance exams, and assisting the students in completing their college applications.   Counselors also provide individual and small group counseling for students in need of intervention and prevention. The chart below outlines the scope of counselor responsibilities within Green Dot School sites.

The Green Dot Families Website is Green Dot's platform to inform the community about relevant social services that surround our high schools. This site will include information on services such as:

• College Readiness
• Health Services
• Emergency Hotlines
• Counseling
• Emergency Financial Assistance
• Parent Education Resources
• Legal Aid

If so, then join Green Dot Public Schools where our mission is to transform public education in Los Angeles. Green Dot is committed to ensuring that all young adults receive the education they deserve to be successful in college, leadership and life.

To achieve this goal we understand that we must employ talented teachers, administrators and other personnel who are passionate about being the best.
