After School Program
Fun through the whole school year
Crouch NRC's no-cost After School Program (ASP) has been running for generations in the Hamilton Road community.
ASP is for children aged 4-13 (JK-8) who reside in the Hamilton Road Area (N6B 1&2, N5Z 1&2, N6A 3&5, N5W 0-3&6, and N5Y 3). Children who attend Aberdeen Public School will be picked up at the bell and brought to The Hamilton Road Senior Centre to start the night. Children who do not attend Aberdeen will need to be brought to the program by an adult or given permission to attend themselves. Pick up is at 6:00 pm.

Youth Leadership in Training
Preparing for the future
This is a unique opportunity for youth aged 14-18 to join program in a role that balances responsibility and fun by allowing teens to learn professional skills and participate in activities.
Although this is not a course or a class there will be opportunities for professional development, mentorship, reflection, and skill building that starts the shift between program participant to leader. Teens can join on a schedule that works best for them with a minimum requirement of one full day every 2 weeks and facilitation is not a requirement but an available opportunity.
By joining this program teens can collect volunteer hours, build professional relationships, and even have opportunities for future summer employment.
