Description:
As a leading nonprofit for strengthening community, the East Orange YMCA believes access to afterschool programs is important for all kids, but for young people in low-income or struggling environments, they are critically important to supporting academic achievement and providing the kind of enrichment that sparks passions, builds skills and opens doors.
We believe every child is full of promise and possibilities, and we love being there when a child realizes it, too.
Our program has well-trained staff who are focused on meeting the needs of each individual participant who are committed to serving as excellent role models for the community and will help to establish an atmosphere where parents can be secure and confident about the place their child grows. The program is fully licensed by the State of New Jersey’s Department of Children and Families. We are also accredited by the New Jersey School Age Child Care Association (SACC) since 2006 (our kids are featured on their homepage).
Additional Information:Mildred Barry-Garvin and Rosa Parks children are welcomed to register for this afterschool site at Mildred Barry-Garvin. We do, however, have a total of 7 sites in East Orange.
Our activities stimulate young minds, get them physically active to improve health and involve them in community to support our neighbors. The curriculum includes AfterSchool KidzMath, AfterSchool KidzLit, homework assistance, organized and recreational sports, afternoon snacks/meals, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math), educational workshops, CATCH activities through Healthy U initiative, field trips and more!
