Providing a safe and supportive space for youth to learn and grow in the critical after school hours

Alleghany After School

The majority of adolescent risk-taking occurs during the after school hours of 3-6pm. It is crucial that young people have safe supervision during those hours to guide them to healthy life choices. WYN currently provides the only after school program for youth in Watauga County. Using the Love and Logic curriculum, WYN’s highly trained staff create a secure and trauma-informed environment in which our youth can learn and grow.

During WYN’s after school program, youth receive individualized academic tutoring and healthy snacks while participating in physical activity and enriching extracurricular opportunities such as music, art, teambuilding, and enrichment activities. Our after school programs are located at Piney Creek and Sparta elementary/middle schools in Alleghany County. We are currently hiring for the program at Glade Creek!
