Afterschool and Summer Learning Opportunities
Through school-community partnerships, we create afterschool opportunities for children and youth to achieve academically, socially, emotionally, vocationally, civically, and physically.
SCHOONER
We keep children safe, supervised, and learning after school and during school vacations so that parents can work. This program is year around.
Massachusetts 21st Century Community Learning Centers
Through a New Bedford Public Schools-led collaboration, children attending low-performing schools enjoy afterschool academic support and enrichment that makes learning fun, interesting, and rewarding. Participation in the programs has boosted students’ school-day performance.

New Bedford High School Hip Hop Club
In this arts-based afterschool program, we use youth involvement in hip-hop music and culture to increase their personal, social, artistic, and academic skills. Club members get to showcase their struggles, aspirations, and original artistic works in public performances.
Acushnet Heights Youth Club
In a low-income, high-risk area, neighborhood children find safety, homework assistance, computer access, and enrichment in our drop-in afterschool program.
