Out of School Time Program with the Hockomock Area YMCA

Jen Ward

In collaboration with the Milford Public Schools and the Milford Youth Center, the Hockomock Area YMCA is helping to respond to community needs with the “Out of School Time” Program.  As an organization dedicated to youth development, the YMCA knows how important it is for a child to have an enriching place for learning and growth, both in and out of school.
The YMCA is excited to provide full-day remote learning assistance and enrichment programming Monday through Friday at the Milford Youth Center. YMCA staff will assist students in their school programs using their own laptop or device, assist with questions during remote learning, and help to keep them on track as they connect with their teachers online. During class breaks, and after schoolwork is completed, the Y team will engage students with enrichment and physical activities. During the pandemic this Spring and summer, the Hockomock Y supported and safely ran emergency child care programs and camps for over 700 children per day at our branches, which is why they were the perfect organization to collaborate with to make this happen!
