Youth Programs
K-12 Out of School Time (OST) Youth Programs
Providing High Quality After-School and Summer Programming to Local Youth
North10, Philadelphia’s Youth Programs offer high quality, structured learning, enrichment, and recreational opportunities for local youth in grades K-12, outside of the traditional school day and during the summer months. We implement a Positive Youth Development approach to our after-school and summer programming that fosters trusting adult-to-youth and youth-to-youth relationship building and holds clear expectations ensuring all our kids graduate high school on time with an actionable plan for college and/ or a career of their choice.
How We Work
Our Approach
- Clear expectations that provide a pathway for access to and success at post-secondary academic institutions and/ or career-building jobs.
- Integration of trauma-informed care to support the positive growth and development of children who live with systemic stresses that can cause lasting impact.
- Strong relationships with youth built on a foundation of safety, trustworthiness, choice, collaboration, and empowerment.
