Y After-school

The Y serves thousands of kids in dozens of quality after-school programs throughout the city.

At the YMCA, we are more than just your average after-school. The Y is dedicated to providing high quality, affordable, age-appropriate after-school enrichment for your child when you cannot be there yourself.

From time dedicated to homework, arts crafts, team work and character development, healthy living, and so much more - we are POSITIVE that the YMCA is the place for your child this school year!

Our curriculum is based on a program model that focuses on learning enhancement, health and recreation, and building competence and confidence in children. The program runs every regular school day, from 2:30 PM to 6 PM, in a supervised and structured environment, providing a safe after school alternative for children. The staff-to-student ratio is 1:10 and the site capacity can range from 24 to as many as 500 children.

Y After-school is offered at low cost to parents, thanks to generous support from the NYC Department of Education, NYC Department of Youth & Community Development, federal grants through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers, The After-School Corporation, leading corporations, foundations, individual donors and the Y's Annual Campaign.
