Learning Works: An after-school program designed for children ages 7-12 to help improve grades, tutor for homework, and also to teach anti-drug messages. Children are divided into three groups according to homework, computer lab, and arts and crafts. They must have grades above C to be allowed to go to arts and crafts or play games on the computers. Otherwise, they have to use the computer for educational purposes or go to the homework room and read accelerated reading books if they have no homework. Students are taken on field trips to places such as the justice center, and the recycling center, and guest speakers come in from the community to teach important messages such as cooking with commodity foods, bicycle safety, and more. Children are given money for good grades on their report cards.

Teens Need Training: An after-school program designed for children ages 13-17. They are taught life skills such as job applications, resumes', interviewing, opening and balancing a checking account, applying for scholarships and Pell grants to attend college, how to cook using commodity foods, etc. They are also taught anti-drug messages.

Young Marines: A program for children ages 7-18. It is very similar to the actual Marines program. They begin with basic training and are promoted accordingly. The children learn obedience, respect, discipline, and more. They meet weekly on Saturdays from 9-12, and also take field trips to places like Paris Island, N.C. and South Carolina. They also go on camping trips and are taught skills such as CPR and swimming.

Rock Wall Climbing: All ages meet twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday from 3-7. The climbing wall coordinator teaches them how to climb the wall using different techniques to make it harder each time. They will be taking field trips to places like Obed National Park to have real experiences with rock climbing.

Tae Kwon Do: Crossville Judo Club operates out of the housing authority's Activity Center. They learn the art of Judo and participate in tournaments. Students who live in public housing have their fees for entering tournaments paid by the PHDEP program funds.

Senior Day Out: Senior residents are picked up and taken to the grocery store, to the drug store, yard sales, and to run other errands they normally would not have transportation to do.

Weight Training: Residents use the Activity Center's weight room and our weight training volunteer coordinator designs a program to meet that person's needs.

Holiday Parties: Special parties are designed for youth on each holiday. Examples are a haunted house at Halloween, a Valentine's Day Dance, Santa's workshop, a Friday night dance for the high school homecoming, and more.

Summer Youth Program: Crossville Housing Authority partners with the Teens Against Drugs Center and designs a program Tuesday through Thursday for youth ages 7-12. Programs normally include guest speakers on Tuesday and Wednesday and field trips to places like the library or bowling, skating, movies, etc. on Thursdays.

VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) We currently have two VISTA's who help design and oversee programs for the Crossville Housing Authority.

Gateway computer lab: We currently have 15 computers in partnership with the Board Of Education that are used for GED classes and our after-school programs. We also offer 3 hours per day for anyone from the community to come in and use the internet or learn typing skills, etc

Community transportation: We have three vans that were purchased with PHDEP funds that are used to transport residents to the after-school activities and our summer youth programs. We also use these vans to transport our seniors on senior day out and to resident council meetings, arts and crafts, and much more

Elderly Resident Services: Elderly or disabled residents who live in housing are given assistance with daily activities. Community Cares Members go into the resident's home and do housekeeping, personal care and companionship visits. Residents are signed up for services through Upper Cumberland Development District and are normally placed on a one to two year waiting list. We deliver the services to the residents free of charge until they are provided through UCDD.
