Stay Active: Especially for Parents

ESPECIALLY FOR PARENTS: ABOUT THE WEBSITE

This website has been developed by the Assets for
Youth work group of the Charlottesville/Albemarle
Commission on Children and Families (CCF) as a step
toward increasing access to local programs.

This website contains information about selected community-based after-school programs and activities that are low-cost or free. Check with your child's school about any available after-school or enrichment programs that have not been included here. Most schools have site-specific programs for their students at little to no cost.

CCF has attempted to provide up-to-date and accurate
information, but may have missed some programs.
Please call CCF at 434-872-4545 if you know of a program that should be listed in future publications.

As background, the Assets on Youth Work Group was created in September 2003 to advise the Commission and the localities on issues related to youth access to and participation in productive out of school activities. While CCF research indicated that many young people in the community were connected to positive enrichment, community service and after-school programs, at-risk and low-income youth participated in these activities at a lower level than most middle and high-school students.
