3rd Party After-School Programs

Virtual Y
Thanks to a grant, the Dodge YMCA runs a Virtual Y in the school that provides free after school, vacation camp, and summer programs to a limited number of registered K-5 students. The afterschool program runs from 3:00-6:00PM and features homework help, arts, and sports. Attendance is important. Afterschool program participants have priority registration for the summer and vacation programs. Contact Mr. Brown for more information at (718) 834-6722 or wbrown@ymcanyc.com.

Kids Orbit
Kids Orbit runs a nonprofit after school program from 3:00-6:00PM for pre-K–5th graders. They provide snacks, homework help, and special activities, such as arts, crafts, and Tae Kwon Do.
