Watauga After School

The majority of adolescent risk-taking occurs during the afterschool 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 afterschool program for middle school 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 therapy, art classes, children’s yoga, and cooking. Community volunteers are critical to the success of WYN’s program. Volunteers join WYN daily to tutor our youth as well as connect with them through curriculum-based activities and recreation.

Look for our WYN vans around town! WYN picks up our students from their K-8 schools across the county and will take kids home based off need.
