Evening Program
The Evening Program provides a safe, supportive, and engaging environment for youth and teens. Participants receive homework assistance and have access to computer literacy activities that help develop technology skills. The program also offers strength and conditioning sessions that incorporate a variety of drills designed to improve fitness, athletic performance, and overall health.
In addition, staff are available to support teens by providing opportunities for discussion on current events, personal challenges, and other topics that may impact their lives. The program encourages critical thinking, communication, and positive decision-making. Participants may also take part in the Chess Club, which promotes strategic thinking, and problem-solving. Through these activities, the Evening Program supports academic success, physical wellness, social-emotional development, positive youth engagement, and overall health.
