After School Program
Every day the Youth Center provides area kids with a safe, well-supervised place to do homework, play games, explore art activities, or simply hang out with friends. Staff and volunteers, including Williams College students, are on hand daily to mentor younger people as they work on athletic, study, and social skills. The after-school program is open to children grades 1-8. Learn more here.
