PBHA’s South Boston Afterschool offers an arts-based afterschool literacy program for young people from low-income families in South Boston. South Boston Afterschool utilizes an enrichment curriculum to promote the positive youth development of seventh and eighth graders who attend the James F. Condon K-8 School.South Boston Afterschool empowers youth through an academic enrichment and arts-based literacy curriculum, emphasizing academic confidence, conflict resolution, interdependence, prevention of risk-taking behaviors, and respect for diversity. The program offers one-on-one support as well as group workshop activities for all afterschool program participants. At the conclusion of the semester, students and tutors attend a family fun night to build meaningful relationships between students, families, and volunteers and showcase the students' work.South Boston Afterschool works with the same students enrolled in South Boston Outreach Summer, a program of PBHA's Summer Urban Program, to provide continuous, year-round programming.
