After School Programming

I WILL GRADUATE Program creates unique, fun engaging learning experiences beyond the school day, providing after-school programming for K-12 students in the City-wide. Our current program operates out of Bedford-Stuyvesant and is offered with the support of the New York City Department of Youth and Community Development.

Through daily small group and team enrichments, students explore new fields and learning spaces in the arts, STEAM, literacy, and athletics. Our students are members of competitive debate and performances, producing original theatrical and filmed work, and learning how to code, write, dance, and design. By providing FREE programs and services to K-12 participants, students are provided the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning and to work alongside professional makers and thinkers, we are helping to foster young leaders in our schools and community.
