North Wind After School is a licensed program through the New York State Office of Child and Family Services, Division of Child Care Services. We aim to provide the highest quality programs that offer kids challenging activities and learning experiences while also providing support to working families. Following youth development best practices, our program offers many engaging hands on activities, teamwork/leadership activities, and time for youth to explore their environment with their imagination.
North Wind After School is a 4-H program following the 4-H Way! What is the 4-H Way? 4‑H empowers young people with the skills to lead for a lifetime. It’s a research-based experience that includes a mentor, a hands-on project, and a meaningful leadership opportunity. As youth grow in our program they will have the opportunity to gain new life long skills, and friendships.
