The Y serves thousands of kids in dozens of quality afterschool programs throughout the city.

The literacy-based academic support program builds study skills and helps with homework through project-based learning and balanced literacy activities, using reading, writing, and conversation to address literacy challenges among public school students.

As in any Y program, health education and recreation opportunities are central! With off-site locations from Park Slope to Coney Island, Y After School helps hundreds of elementary school kids continue to grow in spirit, mind, and body during the critical 3-6 PM hours.

Y After School is absolutely free of charge through donations to the Annual Campaign.

For information about our Y Afterschool programs, please contact Jasmine Rosa at JRosa@ymcanyc.org or 212-912-2587.
