All of Family Matters’ programs are grounded in the organization’s commitment to fostering leadership opportunities. We support youth and families in building healthy relationships to self, others and the community through individualized and age- and gender-specific activities, all of which incorporate both academic and social emotional learning (SEL). Programs meet Monday – Friday between 3:00 and 8:30 PM.
