Afterschool Programs

City-run afterschool programs provide supervised care and enrichment during the school year.

Register your child for afterschool programs that provide supervised care during the school year.

Programs for elementary-age children offer time to play, create, and connect with others after school. Activities may include games, arts, outdoor play, and group time, with some programs offering performing arts or therapeutic recreation. 

For teens in middle school, afterschool programs provide leadership and skill-building opportunities by mentoring younger students and working alongside staff members at community centers. 

Use the City’s online recreation portal to view schedules, locations, and fees. Programs vary by term. Create an account before registration opens. Financial help is available for eligible residents.
