After School Programming
​
Girls First offers academic support and enrichment through the arts with a strong emphasis on life skills and building a positive sense of self led by caring mentors and teachers.
​
​
Serving girls in 1st through 4th grades, Girls First runs Monday through Thursday afternoons until 5:45pm. Students must be picked up between 5:45 - 6:00pm. The 2023/2024 program year takes place from October 10th until May 23rd.
Every day we offer a full meal and creative studies in dance, visual arts, drama, music, and cooking. We end each day with time to begin homework or practice reading and math skills.
This program is offered at no cost to families, but a strong commitment to attendance and participation is required.
