Manhattan Youth Recreation and Resources

After school program - please note, the expenses above include government funded expenditures of $12,535,286. The revenue above does not include government grants of $12,535,286. Children aged five to twelve, especially those in elementary school, need qualified caregivers. While working parents can rely upon schools to provide childcare from the start of the workday until mid afternoon, few quality or affordable childcare options are available from mid afternoon until the end of the workday. We also provide a summer program to assist working families when schools close from late june to early september. Parents have a peace of mind knowing their children are safe and engaged in enriching activities. The program provides excellent care for children in elementary and middle school. Our programs emphasize physical and educational activities and cultural enhancement through activities including but not limited to swimming, sports, theatre, and arts.

Community center - the community center is the center of community life in lower Manhattan offering recreational, educational and community activities for all ages, including free teen programs on friday nights, senior swim during the week, and activities for families and residents in lower Manhattan's first community center.
