ALBANY – Five school district programs will receive Empire State After-School Program funding from Albany.

After-school programs give children the opportunity to thrive in an environment that encourages exploration and creative expression. They provide inspiring and enriching activities that the kids often do not receive elsewhere.

After-school programs allow children to discover their potential and uncover their interests and be a part of their own community.

They provide a structured and resourceful environment that invests in a child’s development – from social-emotional development to better understanding of their interests and goals, to identifying their likes and dislikes, to valuing team efforts and taking chances in a safe environment where they are mentoring and encouraged.
