AFTER SCHOOL

FOR STUDENTS AT BLOOMINGTON JR. HIGH SCHOOL

Introducing our newly developed YWCA Young Wonders Junior High After-School Program at Bloomington Junior High. Designed for 6th–8th graders, we offer a safe, engaging place to get active, dive into hands-on activities, connect with friends, and complete homework with caring support—so evenings at home go smoother.

We’re excited to partner with Bloomington Jr. High School to help lay strong foundations for a successful, healthy future through daily enrichment, mentorship, and consistent, high-quality care!

PROGRAM FEATURES

After school only

2:45 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Children must be picked up by 5:30 p.m., or late fees will be charged by the minute.

Social-Emotional Learning

Students practice conflict resolution, self-advocacy, and goal-setting through guided activities and reflection, building resilience and confidence that carry beyond the classroom.

Financial Foundations

Hands-on lessons introduce banking basics, budgeting for smart spending and saving, and the fundamentals of first credit, empowering teens to make informed, future-ready money decisions.

homework help & tutoring

Dedicated homework time and free tutoring are provided each day to support and strengthen your child’s academic success.

Healthy Relationships

Through discussions and role-play, students strengthen communication, learn to set and respect boundaries, and navigate peer dynamics with empathy and safety, including digital citizenship where relevant.

Career & Skills Exploration

Teens sample tech, entrepreneurship, and public service through speakers, mini-projects, and skill workshops, connecting personal interests to real-world pathways and transferable skills.

arts, crafts & activities

After school, your kids can burn energy and build fitness through active games, then explore creativity with arts and crafts projects that foster imagination and confidence.
