Director of Community Programs: Jen Chantrtanapichate
Grades: 4th - 8th
Our after school program, Sixth Street Youth Program will expand to serve students in grades 4 through 8, and will offer daily homework support as well as on site tutoring. Similar to the summer program, our after school will be very low-cost, with a sliding-scale or free tuition for families that qualify. All families are encouraged to sign-up regardless of ability to pay. Each day after homework and tutoring, we will be offering a daily enrichment workshop in art, creative writing, expressive movement or urban gardening.
