This summer's Virtual Village returns with after-school programming!

When the learning day is over, kids and youth still need to engage in activities to keep them entertained and help them thrive. After-school programs have been shown to improve students’ academic performance, encouraging physical activity and good dietary habits, and improve classroom behavior.
