    Youth Programs

    The Newton Community center provides after school and summer youth program activities for youth ages 8-18. Youth  with a fun, supportive place to call their own. Young people will enjoy the Newton Community Center’s after-school program which  offers youth an opportunity to be involved in an enrichment club of their choice. The clubs offered focus on specific hobbies or interests varying from arts & crafts, gaming, cooking, and more. Our programs and activities are FREE & available throughout the year after school 4pm until 6PM. Schedule may vary during the summer time, and occasionally on weekends. If interested, please complete the registration form below and a NCC staff member will reach out to you soon.

    Please be advised that the Newton Community center is not a licensed child care, and therefore the expectation is that the participants are mature enough to handle a less-structured environment. While we provide a safe and supervised atmosphere, staff work in various room, providing instruction, or direction  and therefore do not provide line-of-sight supervision at all times. Youth who are not registered, including guests of registered participants, will not be permitted to attend the NCC Drop-In program or enrichment clubs.
