Northwest Pointe Apartments After School Center

Started in September 1994, the "Catch Them While They're Young" program provides supervised afterschool activities for children in kindergarten through 6th grade who live Northwest Pointe Apartments.

Boise Parks & Recreation staff members focus on social skills, life skills, arts and crafts and self esteem.

Positive reinforcement is emphasized with all activities. Homework and tutoring are always a priority.

The afterschool program is a partnership with Neighborhood Housing Services Inc., a non-profit organization founded in 1982 offering services to low-income children and adults through a myriad of community and housing related programs.

At Northwest Pointe, the goal of the afterschool program is to provide children with activities and positive role models so that healthy behavior becomes habit -- and to "Catch Them While They're Young!"
