Give these kids something legit to do after school: Donate/Volunteer at http://www.americascores.org.
This month I visited America SCORES, an organization which provides after school programming to underprivileged school all across the country.
While most branches of the organization have weathered the economy, in 2008 the NYC office was forced to shut down. Now in the midst of their relaunch fundraising, I toured their HQ and learned how they were teaching kids soccer, poetry/creative expression, and service learning. Not only does this program combat child obesity, but it's helping the kids become better writers all while diverting their attention away from the negative alternatives when school lets out.
More coming to http://www.fiestamovement.com/agent96. Next month is adventure month. It should be awesome.
