The Parks Afterschool Program

Mission Statement
The Parks Afterschool Program seeks to enhance communities and enrich the lives of children in the City of New York by providing safe, supportive, and structured environments that support overall health and well-being. Parks Afterschool offers quality educational, recreational, and cultural programs that promote the social, physical, intellectual, and emotional development of children and youth.

Structured Afterschool Program
On any afternoon of the week, visit one of the 35 Parks Afterschool locations and you will see children ages 6-13 years old participating in a wide variety of recreational, cultural, and educational programs. Three thousand children in the City of New York are served by the Parks Afterschool Program between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through 金, the time when school-aged children are most in need of being in safe, supportive environments. Parks Afterschool youth receive homework help, participate in fitness activities, and explore arts & culture opportunities. Parks Afterschool programs complement what children are learning in schools and strengthen their sense of belonging in the communities in which they live.

Parks Afterschool Programs are certified under the School-Aged Child Care (SACC) Regulations of New York State.
