In fall 2019, the Eugene Family YMCA expanded its program to Cottage Grove, giving parents of students at Harrison Elementary School a highly-sought afterschool option.

Rachel Jackson, associate youth development director for the YMCA, was excited to show the program off to Cottage Grove.

“I like that we’re able to not just be an afterschool, but an enrichment program,” said Jackson. “[The children] are learning and building new skills, whether its personal relationships or any of the other enrichment activities that we’re offering.”

In February, the program expanded again to include Bohemia, Dorena and London schools, in effect offering services to all elementary schools within the South Lane School District.

The space has an enrollment capacity of 45 children.

In meeting the nonprofi t’s stated goal of “strengthening communities through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility,” children are treated to fruit snacks, games, physical activities, cooking, art projects and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) activities.

In addition, the program offers homework assistance to students who need it.

“They also learn how to work with your friends if you’re having a disagreement – problem-solving skills and social/ emotional learning,” said YMCA Youth Development Director Holly Kriz-Anderson. “We have a service-learning component as well, which happens once a month, just showing how important it is to give back to our community or to help at school or to do something nice for somebody else.”
