Lights on Career Development

Preparation for the future starts early. Our afterschool programs are helping New Britain students get a head start on the skills they'll need to succeed #LightsOnNB #lightsonafterschool Afterschool Alliance

Exposure to new cultural experiences like painting, cooking, and gardening are opportunities that can be difficult for kids to access. The afterschool programs in New Britain give our students a chance to develop new skills and interests! #LightsOnNB www.nbyouthprevention.com Afterschool Alliance

After School and Sports

Sports programming is one of the best ways to keep our kids active after school and provide them with a community of friends and mentors. Learning how to work with a team and push yourself to succeed in the face of hardship can teach so much to our students. #LightsOnNB www.nbyouthprevention.com Afterschool Alliance
