CRC – Youth Afterschool Program

Calling all Oak Park middle and high school youth!

Middle and high school students can enjoy FREE access to the CRC from 3:00-6:00P Monday through Friday when school is in session for the 2023-24 school year. During this time, structured and unstructured activities and spaces will be available and supervised by CRC staff including access to the Esports Lounge, gymnasium, and community rooms. 

• • Students can bring their homework to get free homework assistance from tutors from Triton College, available Monday-Thursday in the Community Room.
  • Our Afterschool Youth Advisory team plans regular group activities and events! Check out the monthly calendar below.
  • The Youth Afterschool Program has partnered with the Community Mental Health Board of Oak Park Township and local non-profit organizations to bring in engaging presentations and activities for students to support their mental wellness and help prevent substance use and related harms. Most sessions are drop-in, and attendance is capped to encourage an enjoyable environment for all students. See upcoming Youth Mental Wellness Programming below.
