Be Me After-School Program

Join us for Be Me, an inclusive and vibrant after-school program for K – 5th grade students. When you join our Y community, every day is a fun-filled learning experience! Our weekly schedule of activities has such a variety that no matter what your child’s interests may be, our offerings will keep them engaged while building new skills.

We welcome children with varying additional support needs. Our integrated program reflects our desire to be inclusive whenever possible and to cater to the needs of each individual child.  To ensure that each child’s needs are appropriately met, we conduct an intake interview with each participant with an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan prior to the school year (if the parent feels it is necessary). For more information on our inclusion program, you can contact our Director of Inclusion, Mary Ehring-Maldonado.

Program dates for 2025 – 2026 are September 8, 2025 – June 12, 2026.
