The After-School Program in Norwich, VT, offered by Upper Valley Haven, is dedicated to nurturing school-aged children who are current or former guests of our shelter. We create a caring and supportive environment where children can enhance their social and emotional learning during the school year and vacation weeks. Our comprehensive program includes homework assistance, engaging enrichment activities like rock climbing, music, dance, and arts and crafts, as well as seasonal adventures such as skating and hiking. We emphasize life skills, providing lessons in financial literacy, nutrition, and cooking, while also offering mentoring support. Our Children’s Services Coordinator actively connects families with their child’s school, participating in conferences and special education meetings to foster stronger community relationships and ensure children thrive both academically and socially.
