After-School Program

The FORT after-school program is specifically designed for youth in grades 7-9. The simple truth is youth need constructive activities after school. After-school programs give youth a place to meet, learn, have fun and try out new activities in a supervised environment. Youth are encouraged to express themselves and participate in their community. Parents can be confident that their children are engaged in programs and surrounded by positive influences.
