Youth Programs

After School

Green Street has been proud to provide a space for youth to express themselves for more than six years in an after school program that meets their emotional, creative and academic needs. In partnering with community resources to provide the best enrichment program in arts and academics, Green Street is able to offer individualized attention and rare learning opportunities for students of all abilities and backgrounds. Available to grades 1-8, the After School program lets every student pursue their passions and skills – and discover new ones too!

  • How It Works
    • Students design their own schedule as part of a week-long session (September to December, and January to May). Schedules are flexible; sign up for as many of as few activities as you’d like! Students enjoy a nutritious snack upon arrival, and then jump into their classes and activities. Green Street’s After School staff helps to create a space that keeps each child safe and inspired. Each session culminates in a program-wide performance, exhibition and celebration.
