Neighborhood parents and volunteers in Westside have banded together to offer a free, volunteer-driven after-school program at the local recreation hall. Aimed at children aged 6 to 13, the program features homework help, reading circles, and structured playtime. On select days, local professionals and college students lead workshops in coding, arts, and basic financial literacy.

“We saw so many kids in this area who lacked a safe, productive place to go once school let out,” said organizer Benjamin Harris. “So we’re creating that safe place ourselves—one where they can learn, socialize, and discover new interests.”

Parents report seeing tangible improvements in academic performance and social skills. The Westside Collective, which oversees the project, plans to expand the curriculum if they can secure more volunteers and donations. Everyone agrees the program has already become a lifeline for busy families balancing work and childcare.
