Our Programs

After School Programming

The Peace Corner offers after school programming for youth ages 8-18, five days a week. Students begin their time here with a nutritious snack, followed by required homework completion overseen by adult mentors.

Amani Leadership Program

Designed to help children navigate the challenges of middle school and set them on a path toward a successful life, the Amani Leadership Program begins in October. If you have a 5^th grader, or know someone who does, check out this amazing opportunity!

Classes and Programs

Creative exploration comes to life as your child dives into exciting projects related to art, music, and STEM subjects, fostering a love for learning. The Peace Corner Youth Center offers classes and ongoing programs that give neighborhood youth ages 8-18 a chance to explore their interests.

I love the Peace Corner because I never had a place to come when I was a little kid, and it’s helping me now become a better man.
