2025-2026 After School Program Policies and Goals2026-2027 After School Program Records Release Form

Youth After-School Program

After School Program provides a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for youth in grades 1–8, Monday through Friday. Children participate in a variety of activities including homework assistance, arts and crafts, educational enrichment, and recreational play.

Limited transportation is available if needed (confirmed schools: Forest Park, Bloomingdale, Study, Price and Lindley). Our youth vans will pick children up from school and can transport them home at the end of program. Children can also be dropped off and picked up from the program.

Enroll your children in a program that helps them learn, grow, and thrive after the school day ends!
