The Center’s youth services/afterschool programs work with elementary and junior high school youth as early as nine years old to increase academic success and decrease negative outcomes. This includes working with youth to increase their use of community resources (such as libraries), prevention efforts for youth in substance, tobacco and alcohol use, exposure to cultural and recreational activities, and academic enhancements.

We also work closely with parents and caregivers to serve as partners in their child’s academic success. Our school-based programs have long-standing partnerships with schools and community organizations to help children and families build positive school relationships and respect for their communities.
