Youth Programs
After School Program
The After School Program provides a safe place where middle and high school students can go to escape the stresses that they face on a daily basis. The free program provides tutoring for students, time to hang out with friends in a healthy environment, weekly dinners, and group fun and games. The program is open from 3:15-5:30pm on Monday and Wednesday for middle school students and Tuesday and Thursday for high school students.
R.A.D.
(reimagining academic dreams)
R.A.D. provides high school juniors and seniors in the West Chester community with the relationships, resources, and practical skills they need to confidently navigate life after high school. Whether students choose to enter the workforce, pursue a trade or apprenticeship, or attend college, R.A.D. helps prepare them for their next steps. Through meaningful relationships, mentorship, and hands-on learning, students explore career interests, develop professional skills, build resumes, practice interviewing, learn financial literacy and budgeting, navigate college applications and financial aid, and gain the confidence to pursue their goals.
Summer Camps
Summer camps provide students in our community with opportunities to learn, create, explore, and grow in a fun and supportive environment. Through our STEM, Pottery & Art, and Soccer camps, students discover new interests, develop skills, build confidence, and form meaningful friendships. Whether they are experimenting with hands-on STEM activities, expressing their creativity through art and pottery, or developing teamwork and athletic skills on the soccer field, campers are encouraged to try new things and discover their potential.
Girls & Guys Night
Guys’ and Girls’ Nights provide middle and high school students with opportunities to build meaningful relationships, grow in confidence, and develop as leaders in a safe, supportive, and faith-centered environment. Hosted monthly, these evenings connect students with positive male and female mentors who encourage and support them through the challenges and opportunities of adolescence. Rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, these gatherings help students understand their value, build healthy relationships, grow in their faith, and develop the confidence and character to become positive leaders in their families, schools, and community.
Westside FC
The Westside Football Club was founded in 2020 with the vision of giving students of all economic statuses the opportunity to play soccer in a professionally run, fun, high quality environment. Westside FC has a yearly Summer Soccer Camp as well as Futsal Nights Wednesdays at The Spot in the warmer months.
STEAM
STEAM is an approach to learning and development that integrates the areas of science, technology, engineering, art and mathematics. Through STEAM, students develop key skills, which include problem solving and creativity. Our mission is to empower youth and families. Our STEM program will help to give youth the confidence and the necessary skills to address the practical problems that will come their way.
