After-School Programs

Giving young people a safe place to socialize and reenergize after a long day has been a component of Bresee’s services since its inception. As we build relationships with kids in this environment, they are more open to the transformative, innovative learning experiences and skill-building opportunities we offer daily after school. In fact, our youth are often times the driving force behind the production of more programs that build their assets, deter delinquent behavior, and instill hope for a successful future beyond poverty’s grasp.

Young people benefit from assistance provided daily after-school from 3-7 p.m. in the following areas:

• Academics and College Prep (tutoring, homework assistance, college preparation workshops & tours)
• Technology Access and Training (self-paced tutorials, workshops, open access in CyberHood youth lab, and multimedia training)
• Career Development (workplace-readiness training, internships, job placement and financial literacy)
• Health Clinic and Services (pediatric clinic, health workshops)
• Counseling and Intervention Services (anger management workshops, peer counseling, first-time offender community service opportunities, parenting classes)
• Sports and Recreation (fun activities and field trips, and sports leagues)
• Leadership Development (leadership activities and opportunities)
• Spiritual Development (Life, CoffeeHouse, covenant groups)
