After School Program
NEW LOCATION!
Ebenezer Urban Ministry Center, 660 Powell St., Brooklyn
The BKLA Afterschool Program is more than just aftercare—it is a safe, inspiring environment where children grow academically, socially, and emotionally. Each afternoon, students build on what they’ve learned in school through interactive, hands-on activities designed to strengthen critical thinking and creativity. Trained BKLA staff provide personalized homework support, ensuring that every child receives the guidance they need to succeed. Just as important, children have daily opportunities to socialize, collaborate, and form meaningful friendships that foster confidence, empathy, and resilience. By combining academic enrichment with character development, BKLA equips young people with the tools they need to thrive—both inside the classroom and beyond.
Our curriculum is built on a proven program model that emphasizes learning enrichment, health, and recreation—all while fostering competence, confidence, and joy in every child. The BKLA Afterschool Program operates on all regular school days, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM at our 660 Powell Street location. Nutritious snacks are provided daily. The program follows the NYC DOE school calendar, and will be closed whenever schools are closed.
After School Curriculum
At BKLA, our After School Program offers the perfect balance of structure, support, and fun. We create a space where students can stay on top of schoolwork, explore new interests, and connect with their peers—all in a safe and welcoming environment.
