Youth Programs
Our youth programs are what we are best known for. We put a specific emphasis on our youngest residents, providing a city-wide system of afterschool that ensures our youth receive the same high-quality services across all of our programs year-round.
Youth in grades (K-12) who attend school in South Salt Lake, including those who are home-schooled, may be eligible to attend. Programs at community schools can only serve youth who attend school at the given site or home-schooled youth who live within the boundaries of the school. Programs at community centers can serve all youth and their families who live, learn, work, play, and pray in South Salt Lake.
Each day includes snack and dinner services, homework help or tutoring, enrichment activities which include; model prevention programming, art, STEM, recreation, service learning, and college and career prep. The programs are supported by staff trained in best practices, college mentors and volunteers, and programming partners.
