PrimeTime

This after-school counseling and support program for children who have experienced trauma provides social-emotional learning opportunities for youth participants during twice-weekly sessions. Children learn about conflict management, motivation, decision-making, taking responsibility, and communication skills. These skills are explored through art, games, physical activity, civic engagement, community services, and field learning experiences.  Door-to-door bus transportation is provided to and from the program, as well as hearty, nutritious snacks.

Program staff also provide additional support to families through home visits and family-friendly events at the YWCA of Lowell Youth Center throughout the year.
