After-school programs provide children with a valuable extension of their day, offering a safe place to learn, connect, and explore new interests. Through this initiative, A Family In Need works with families to help make these opportunities more accessible. We understand that consistent after-school care can make a meaningful difference, not just for children, but for the entire household. This program is designed to support families by helping cover essential needs and reducing barriers to participation, so children can stay engaged, supported, and excited about their daily routines. As part of the process, families have the opportunity to share more about their child, including their interests, personality, and what makes them unique.
We provide flexible support based on each family’s needs, which may include:
For generations, YMCA of Fort Worth has created safe, supportive spaces where children can learn, grow, stay active, and build confidence through youth programs, mentorship, childcare, sports, and community support.
As part of our After the Bell initiative, A Family In Need is proud to pledge $2,000 toward youth programming and after-school opportunities supporting children in the Fort Worth community.
We’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to collaborate with organizations making a real impact for families every single day. This partnership is only the beginning, and we’re excited to continue supporting after-school programs and community spaces that help kids feel encouraged, connected, and cared for beyond the classroom.
If you’d like to support the incredible work being done, we encourage you to visit ymcafw.org and learn more about their programs for local youth and families.
