After-school Programs

Our Elementary  After-School Programs foster academic growth and life skills development through age-appropriate enrichment opportunities that encourage social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth in our students. Our program staff and volunteers provide homework support and tutoring, enrichment activities focusing on reading, writing, math, arts and crafts, and service learning opportunities.  These programs intervene at an early stage to critically impact our youths’ academic and social development.

AALEAD programs operate onsite at Thomson and Bancroft Elementary Schools in the District of Columbia.

Our Secondary School After-School Programs provide a safe after-school environment for middle and high school students. Through academic counseling and support, life-skills and enrichment activities, field trips, community service opportunities, college preparatory classes, and student youth councils, students are encouraged to explore their cultural identity, develop leaderships skills, pursue academic excellence and post-secondary education, and give back to their community.

In the District of Columbia, AALEAD’s secondary school after-school programs serve students from Banneker High School, Bell High School, Cardozo High School, and Wilson High School at our community center at 2100 New Hampshire Avenue, NW.
