Afterschool Children's Program
2021 Fall Semester
[Program application link is at bottom of this page.]
LEAP plans to run in-person programming after school in the Fall of 2021. 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 five neighborhoods (Dixwell/Newhallville, Dwight/Kensington/West River, Fair Haven North, Fair Haven South, or the Hill). 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. All children must be screened into the program every day they meet in person with a temperature check and a completed survey so that we know they are not sick and have not come into contact with anyone who is sick.
-
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.
-
Tentative Start Date and Times: LEAP is planning to start our afterschool program on September 27th, 2021. The program will run from 3 pm to 6 pm Monday through Thursday.
