Afterschool Enrichment Specialty Program

The Recreation Department works in partnership with El Cerrito elementary schools to provide After-School Enrichment Programs at Harding, Madera, and Fairmont. We connect professional instructors and coaches to host a variety of classes held conveniently after school on the school campuses. The goal is to provide students the opportunity to discover and develop passions in athletics, art, science, technology, chess, music and more. Classes vary by school and session.
