Hyde Park
CoR Afterschool
CoR After School is an affiliated program with Church of the Redeemer in Hyde Park to serve the needs of local teens. It was launched originally as an effort to provide a warm space for teens waiting to take the city bus in the winter months of the 2021-22 school year. From there, conversations began about other opportunities that could happen in partnership and collaboration with Church of the Redeemer and Clark Montessori. The goal is for these efforts to be supported not just by the church or school, but by other organizations and businesses in the area that share a commitment to helping teens be equipped and empowered in ways that will enable them to be sent to make a positive impact in their world now and in their future.
We operate from 3 pm-5 pm Monday-Thursday. Our mission is to equip and empower teens to be sent into the world. We do this in three ways:
- Providing programs that will equip teens to be the best versions of themselves, focusing on at least one of the four areas: life skills, academic success, community service, and health and wellness.
- Providing a safe space of belonging where teens are accepted and empowered to be wholly who they are.
- Providing tools so they possess the resiliency and confidence necessary to be sent into the world.
