Something for everyone!

Each and everyday youth can participate in what we consider "open" programming, which refers to activities that are open to participate in at anytime on an any day.  



These programs include:
  • Daily arts & crafts
  • Air hockey, billiards, foosball, ping pong
  • Video games (PS3, Xbox One, Nintendo Wii,) 
  • Open gym
  • Streaming Apps TV (Sabres games, TV shows, Disney movies etc.)
  • Computer lab (internet, music, homework etc.)
  • Tutoring

Come and get involved!



A variety of special interest programs and clubs are also offered throughout the year.

  Though free, these programs often require registration due to the limited amount of participants that the program can handle.


  These programs include:
  • Dance Team
  • Chess Club
  • Sign Language Classes
  • STEAM Club
  • Cooking classes
  • Peer Tutoring
  • And more...
