Focusing Our Resources for Children's Enrichment in Long Hill Township

FORCE’s mission is to support academic enrichment in Long Hill Township. Because school budgets are more restrictive than ever, public schools now rely on private funding to support creative and engaging venues to help children learn.  Proceeds raised from donations and fundraisers go directly into programs, grants or sponsorships to enhance areas such as the arts, music, technology and more.

Registration for our Summer Online FORCE classes in now open. It will only be open until May 22nd so register soon to avoid a late fee! Some classes start as early as May 25th, others the first week in June. Please note that not all classes run on the same schedule. Please check the class schedules carefully before registering.

All participants must be students in the Long Hill School District.
