AmeriCash Loans Helps Families Keep the Cost of After-School Activities Within Reach

    DES PLAINES, IL, October 11, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ -- "It's no secret that participation in extracurricular activities helps kids perform better at school," notes Dave Papeck, senior district manager for online lender AmeriCash Loans. "But the high cost of uniforms, sports equipment or band instruments can be more than some families can afford.

"AmeriCash Loans is proud to be the dependable financial resource families can turn to when they need cash for essential expenses like these," Dave continues. "We want to help parents ensure that their children don't miss out on the academic benefits these valuable after-school programs deliver."

Extracurricular activities boost academic achievement

According to Pathways.org, an online resource for parents, participation in extracurricular activities helps children develop motor skills and improve physical fitness, while also building their cognitive and social skills—all of which can enhance a child's sense of well-being.

A Texas A&M study found that extracurricular participation is associated with better engagement, grades and achievement in both reading and math.

"Regular participation in extracurricular activities helps children develop important social skills that will help them succeed as adults," Dave states. "Being part of a team, club or band helps kids learn peer interaction, cooperation, leadership and more."

If you can't pay, you can't play

For families on tight budgets, the high cost of uniforms, sports equipment or musical instruments may put these valuable extracurricular activities out of reach.

"Can you imagine how hard it is for parents to tell their kids they can't try out for a team or play in a band because they aren't able to afford it?" asks Dave. "But for millions of families, affordable options are limited, and many families would have a hard time securing even a small loan from a bank or credit union.

"We want these families to know AmeriCash Loans is always there for them," he adds.
