AFTER SCHOOL MATTERS

Available programs in neighbourhoods throughout St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Fort Erie make a positive impact on youth and teens in Niagara. These programs mitigate the negative effects of low-income for hundreds of families every year. In spite of the fact that children and youth from low-income families are less likely to graduate high school, less likely to pursue post-secondary education, and more likely to live in poverty as adults, After School Matters is creating a measurable impact. Each program site is unique and activities are handpicked by the youth that attend.
