About After School Program (ASP)

Our high-quality, super affordable After School Program stands out!  We provide kids with recreation, art, cooking, STEM and more...  Educational support and tutoring are also available to students that need a little extra help.  Our Program is more than just child care. Most students even receive transportation right from school to the Club.

Did you know we even have a BGC After School Program at many area schools in Ewing and Trenton? Our programs are all state-licensed and provide a structured After School experience, the afternoon is filled with activities from arrival at the Club until 6:00 pm each day.

Parent Testimonials

Parent Testimonials

"My son loves the After School Program (ASP) and is excited to be part of it. He loves the program so much that he always tells me that I come too early to pick him up. The best part of the program is the staff that makes sure they have a personal connection with parents and children. They are aware of where the children are at all times. The STEM program has helped keep my son sharp in math and the science areas. This is the best investment that I have made thus far for my son."
- Tangela W, After School Program Parent

"Our daughter loves it so much that she never wants to go home. She wishes it was an overnight program."

- Olga Carillo-Martinez

 

"After searching high and low for a program that fits our needs, we decided on the ASP at Boys & Girls Club. My son started in September and absolutely loves it! The staff is great, the building is in impeccable condition and the list of programs and classes they do with them throughout the school year is amazing. Looking forward to the upcoming programs and what it entails for our youth."

- Dana H., After School Program Parent
