The Belle Haven After-school Program has just rolled out our new teen program! This program has been design for grades 6th-8th. This program started because of the amount of middle school children that are just hanging out in front of the Onetta Harris Center after school. It will not only give the children a safe place to be but also a chance to do things outside of their norms such as sports and school overload. Students will have a chance to hang out with fellow peers, enjoy a variety of programs that will be implemented throughout the school year such as entrepreneurship and music. The Teen Zone will have a safe & relaxed environment to complete homework if needed as well as learning a new wave of activities from our energetic caring and creative staff & volunteers. Teen Zone will be held Mon-Fri 4 p.m.-6 p.m. and Wed 3 p.m.-6 p.m. in the Senior Center . This pilot program will run from Feb. 6 through June 2.
