Youth Services
Wesley Community Center’s program for school age youth supports academic development, enhances social and personal skills, increases community involvement and provides a safe environment during after-school hours.
Healthy Lifestyles – We provide field trips, recreation, and other activities to enhance health/exercise and wellness. Students receive a daily nutritious snack.
Social and Emotional Learning – We involve youth in peer discussions/programs that develop positive social and emotional skills and well-being. This includes civic engagement to foster responsible, active citizenship in the community.
Technology – We teach appropriate use of technologies such as: computers, internet, social media, animation, game design, studio work etc.
Enrichment Activities – We engage in activities that provide exposure to music, dance, art, and cultures.
Summer Success Program – We offer summer programming to prevent learning loss that may occur during the summer break from school. These programs focus on keeping children prepared to start the school year on par with children in other communities.
