Youth After School Program

The Youth After School Program involves 25 to 40 youth in a variety of activities Tuesday through Friday at the Wellspring Center. Those activities include homework help, a Reading Club, presentations on the visual and performing arts, ethnic nights and educational and recreational programs. We also stress intergenerational interaction with participants in our Older Adult Program.

On each Monday and Wednesday during the school year we take our program model “on the road”. Schools include Study Elementary (Mondays) and Lindley and Nebraska (Wednesdays). Programming at these Title 1 elementary schools in the Fort Wayne Community Schools runs from 3:30 to 6:00 p.m. During 2011 Wellspring provided programming for 281 youth at the outreach sites. Additionally, 110 kids participated in the After School Program offered at the Wellspring Center which was offered Tuesday through Friday each week during the school year.

There are no fees for the Youth After School Program.
