After School Program

The Afterschool Program provides a viable, positive after-school alternative to students who otherwise would engage in unsupervised or non-structured activities at home or on the streets. The purpose of the Wrap Around Program is to meet the child’s emotional, social, educational/vocational needs. It is administered by the Essex Regional Educational Services Commission. The Wrap Around Program is designed to meet self-care skills needed by children at the early development stages of their lives. The children attend the Wrap Around Program from 4:00pm – 6:30pm Monday – Friday between September and June.

Our goal is to create a humane, individualized and highly structured program of support and learning which helps youth succeed academically
