Youth Programming

Early childhood is a critical time for brain development, social skills, and healthy habits. Our Pre-K program, in partnership with Pleasantville School District focuses on nurturing young minds through play-based learning, nutrition education, and movement activities that lay the foundation for a lifetime of good health.

Children ages 3 to 5 years old are eligible for the program.

For many families, the hours before and after school can be a challenge. Our After Care program, in partnership with the Pleasantville School District, provides structured, enriching environments where children can stay active and engage in creative and social activities. These program help reduce stress, promote physical activity, and support emotional well-being. It is available at all Pleasantville elementary schools which are Leeds Ave, North Main, South Main, Washington and AtlantiCare Kids 810 S Main street.

Adolescence is a time of rapid change, and young people need safe, supportive environments to grow, learn, and thrive. Our Teen Centers at Oakcrest High School, Atlantic City High School, and Buena Regional Middle and High Schools provide students with comprehensive, accessible resources during the school day, right where they are.

Through health education, mental-health support, and opportunities to build life and coping skills, we align with New Jersey’s School-Based Youth Services mission to remove barriers to learning and promote whole-person wellness. These centers foster resilience, empower teens to make healthy, informed decisions, and strengthen connections that support long-term well-being for our communities.

At our Teen Centers, teens can access:

• Academic Support & Tutoring: Personalized help with schoolwork, test prep, and study skills to support academic achievement.
• Mental Health Services: Confidential counseling, peer support groups, and mental health resources to promote emotional well-being.
• Career & College Readiness: Workshops, internships, and guidance to help teens plan for their future, whether they’re aiming for college or exploring career options.
• Life Skills Development: From financial literacy to communication skills, our programs equip teens with essential tools for adulthood.
• Recreational & Enrichment Activities: A range of fun and engaging activities to foster creativity, teamwork, and healthy living.
• Leadership & Community Service: Opportunities to volunteer, build leadership skills, and make a positive impact in the community.

We aim to provide a comprehensive approach to teen development, ensuring that every young person has the support they need to thrive academically, emotionally, and socially.
