After School Club Program

This program is a partnership between the city of Torrance Community Services Department and our Torrance Unified School District. 

The After School Club Program is geared towards youth in grades 1st-8th. This recreation program is designed to promote self-esteem through group interaction and self-expression. The program offers games, sports, arts, crafts, and a variety of activities. Structured time is set aside for homework each day.

This program is based on a ratio of one staff member to ten youth at Elementary Schools and one staff member to thirteen youth at Middle Schools. Enrollment is limited and participant minimums are required.
