After-School Programs

Did you know...

"Juvenile arrests have been shown to decrease by 75% when young people participate in an

after-school skills development program."

"Over 85% of children in the US live in households where there is no parent at home during out-of-school hours."

"Children who spent 1-4 hours a week in extracurricular after-school activities were less likely to use drugs and become teen parents than children who spent no time in extracurricular activities."

"Children with the opportunity to make social connections during after-school hours are better adjusted and happier than those who do not."

-Save the Children

The goal of CYM After-School Programming is to "ignite the light within" each student, so they might see and know their gifts and how to live them out.  CYM uses researched best practices at every site, desiring to positively impact the children and youth in our programs - not just offer a childcare service.  CYM currently runs 8 sites in the Kings Canyon Unified School District.  The locations are:

• Alta Elementary
  

• General Grant Middle School
  

• Great Western Elementary
  

• Jefferson Elementary
  

• Lincoln Elementary
  

• McCord Elementary
  

• Navelencia Middle School
  

• Silas Bartch Elementary
  

Each  school  site  has  the following  basic  components: 

tutorial,  recreation, snack,  and enrichments.
