Out-of-School Time Programs

Our Out-of-School Time programs partner with local West Michigan school districts serving youth Kindergarten through 8th grade. The programs enhance resiliency and strengthen young people through creative, community-based, and diverse educational experiences during non-school hours.  Building life-shaping character, fostering healthy relationships, and nurturing socially responsible civic behavior is what
our Out-of-School Time Programs strive for.
