Our Programs

Programming that is innovative, effective and measurable

WINGS at Memminger

Memminger Elementary School is our flagship program. Attended by more than 120 students at Memminger every school day, this program also serves as a laboratory for WINGS to field-test strategies, practices and materials to strengthen our model and help more kids. WINGS at Memminger enrolls kindergarten through sixth grade students.  Students are selected based upon greatest needs first; we look at behavior, academics and family support.  After these students are admitted, we accept students on a first-come, first-served basis, and we consistently have a waiting list. Students are expected to attend 15 hours per week, three hours a day from 3:00 to 5:50 pm (no drop-ins).
