SchoolBridge After School Program
The SchoolBridge After School program mission is to provide quality services for school age children grades K-8 during out of school hours. We accomplish this by ensuring a safe and supportive learning environment that empowers youth with developmentally appropriate educational, artistic, social, and recreational activities. Our facilities feature a computer lab, kitchen, game room, gymnasium, playgrounds and art room.
At SchoolBridge we take a holistic approach to youth development. In addition to enrichment programming, we provide supplemental services such as academic tutoring, creative art services, individual therapy and socialization groups to empower our youth. We also strongly believe in working closely with families, providing family informational workshops and family events such as movie and game nights. All SchoolBridge services are free of charge.
SchoolBridge, at the Elliott Center, services K-4th grades. SchoolBridge, at the Beacon Center, services 5th-8th grades. Pick-up services are provided from local schools and a healthy snack is provided for all participants. We also offer free holiday camps during school breaks.
