After School Coalition
What The After School Coalition Is
- The overall goal of After School Coalition is to provide activities for adolescents after school lets out that are safe and keep them from making poor decisions. We want to get the entire community involved in making Mundelein the best it can possibly be! A bigger goal is to prevent underage drinking in Mundelein. By giving students alternatives, we hope to stop this epidemic.

Meetings
Bi-Monthly Meetings
- Meetings will be held twice a month. These are mandatory unless you tell us beforehand.
Police Station Meetings
- We work closely with the Police Station and take field trips over there about every month. These meetings are usually during part of second hour and most of third hour. To go, you must KEEP YOUR GRADES UP!!! You must also show that you can be responsible and contribute to the group.
This should be a great year! We are really looking forward to it! Please help us make it great!
