Eric Tetler serves as president of Windfield Alloy in Atkinson, New Hampshire. Outside of his leadership role at Windfield Alloy, Eric Tetler donates to a number of local nonprofit organizations, including the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Derry. The Boys & Girls Club of Greater Derry serves over 2,000 youths each year, providing recreational activities, mentoring, computer training, and multiple educational offerings, including Project Learn, which reinforces what students learn during the regular school day. Project Learn is grounded in the research of Dr. Reginald Clark, who found that students perform better in school when they participate in fun, educational activities in their free time. Through Project Learn, students engage in “high-yield learning activities,” such as leisure reading and games that develop their cognitive skills. The project also highlights the importance of parental involvement and collaboration between school personnel and club staff, which are crucial components of effective after-school programming. An evidence-based program, Project Learn has undergone extensive field-testing and evaluation by Columbia University. The results of these assessments prove that Project Learn enhances students’ academic performance.
