Afterschool Children's Program
2022 Fall Semester
[Program application link is at bottom of this page.]
LEAP plans to run in-person programming after school in the fall of 2022. If addressing pandemic safety requires that we combine in-person and online programming or run only online programming, then we will make those changes.
Children must be between the ages of 7 and 12 years old and live in one of our seven neighborhoods (Dixwell, Newhallville, Dwight Kensington, Fair Haven North, Fair Haven South, the Hill, or Quinnipiac Meadows). Teenagers can apply to our Leaders In Training or Junior Counselor programs.
Our in-person programs will include:
-
Strong safety protocols: All children and counselors will be required to wear masks at all times indoors.
-
If your child is not feeling well or someone in your house has COVID-19 symptoms, please keep your child home. If there is someone who is vulnerable to COVID-19 in your household (for instance a senior citizen or someone whose immune system is compromised), then it may not make sense for your child to participate in our in-person program .
-
LEAP groups will meet in schools and community spaces to complete homework, engage in literacy activities, and have fun projects including arts, sports, dance, computer learning, and community walks.
-
Start Date and Times: The program runs from 3 pm to 6 pm Monday through Thursday. The last day of the fall program is December 15th.
