YWCA Phyllis Wheatley After School

After-School Enrichment (ASE) provides a safe, nurturing environment with structure and accountability for middle-school students at no cost. Students aged 10 to 14 are invited to attend. Services are available from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm daily during the school year with occasional extended hours during holiday breaks and teacher in-service days.

ASE works to encourage academic success, leadership, civic involvement, healthy decision-making, and positive family engagement. Focus areas include academics, teen pregnancy, youth and family violence, substance use, childhood obesity, and future planning. Students participate in daily academic enhancement, weekly prevention programming, and regular physical activity, and choose from a variety of educational blocks.

Many ASE students also attend Summer Kids in Play (SKIP), extending their learning opportunities over the summer. Joining SKIP also gives them the opportunity to mentor younger students.
