Program Overview
New Futures provides students with after-school and summer programming four times each week with children ages 5-19. The summer programming is designed to mitigate summer learning loss by providing literacy and numeracy improvement activities as well as fun and enrichment opportunities that include arts, coding, robotics, and outdoor fieldtrips for 6 weeks during the summer.
This provides ample time for youth in the program to develop trusting, healthy relationships with staff and peers, and have time dedicated to work on academics as well as participate in enrichment activities such as college and career readiness, field trips, STEM activities, and youth-led projects. Participants are also able to access a wide range of services offered through SWYFS including child, youth and family counseling; youth case management and behavioral modification classes; high school re-entry and young parent GED programs; family advocates; and parenting classes.
