After School Programs
School day ends. Students and families search for the best neighborhood-based activities.
Of all the programs offered, After School Programs has undergone the most alterations. The founding program of Husky Sport was the After School Girls’ Program (2003), soon joined by the After School Boys Program (2008), then complimented by the Extended Day After School Program at Clark School (2010). Currently, the 4 P’s (principles, participants, programming, and partnerships) have all been mixed to form one large After School Program.
Husky Sport staff works alongside the neighborhood partners surrounding Clark School to co-host After School programming Monday – Thursday. Husky Sport is proud to maintain positive partnerships with so many caring community stakeholders.
