Last year, the after-school program in the Roselle Public Schools 21st Century Community Learning Center Summer Program took 177 students and adults to see the Broadway production of Aladdin. The trip for this after-school program, an extension of the district’s performing arts classes, was funded by several generous sponsors.
This story demonstrates how high-quality afterschool programs allow youth to explore, express themselves in new and exciting ways, connect with their peers and community and have fun. After-school programs can also inspire interest in growing fields like STEM and help children build skills like teamwork, communications and critical thinking. These are skills they’ll use every day and skills that will help them land their first job.
