Our Goal The goal of AKCCL’s After School Program is to provide a low cost structured opportunity for children of low income families in grades K-5 to have access to after school activities that promote the safe and healthy development of children. With a balance of academic development, community awareness, physical and health education, recreation, and nutritional support, children will learn the importance of making good choices, accepting personal responsibility, developing their physical and mental potentials, and excelling in all their endeavors.

When the school bell rings, the anxiety for parents often just begins. They worry about whether their children are safe, or whether they are susceptible to drugs and crime.
