In Windsor, VT, the After-School Program at Upper Valley Haven offers a nurturing space for school-aged children, particularly those who are current and former shelter guests. Operating every school day and during vacation weeks, this program focuses on social and emotional development while providing essential homework assistance and a diverse array of enrichment activities, including rock climbing, music, dance, cultural performances, and arts and crafts. We also prioritize seasonal activities such as skating and hiking, along with essential life skills education covering topics like financial literacy, nutrition, and cooking. Our dedicated Children’s Services Coordinator plays a vital role in fostering strong connections between families and schools by attending conferences and special education meetings, ultimately enhancing the collaboration within our community.
