After School
After School and Saturday Drop-In – These programs are enrolled programs, NOT drop-in.

In the critical hours when parents are working and kids are out of school, EMCC keeps kids happy, healthy and informed. We provide a safe, supervised, and structured setting where kids can play, learn and enjoy an after school snack and dinner nightly. Our regular, open drop-in program activities include:

  •  Learning Center and reading programs
  • Leadership Development
  • Fitness and Nutrition
  • Field trips to cultural, civic and sporting events
  • Community Service Projects
  • Job Training
