Afterschool Children's Program
2023 Spring Semester
[Program application link is at bottom of this page.]
LEAP plans to run in-person programming after school in the spring of 2023.
Children must be between the ages of 7 and 12 years old and live in one of our six neighborhoods (Dixwell, Newhallville, Dwight Kensington, Fair Haven, the Hill, or Quinnipiac Meadows). Teenagers can apply to our Leaders In Training or Junior Counselor programs.
Our in-person programs will include:
-
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 will begin Monday, January 30th, and will end Thursday, May 11th. It will run from 3pm to 6pm Mondays through Thursdays.
-
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 .
If you would like to complete an application for the program, scroll down. Application buttons are at the bottom of this page. If you participated in LEAP's after-school program in Fall 2022 you do not need to submit a new application. Please only submit another application if you have new or updated personal information.
All applications should be submitted by Thursday, January 26th, 2023. Applications submitted after this date will not be considered until the first week of programming begins.
*There will be no LEAP Programming on Wednesday, February 1st, and Thursday, February 2nd.
