Spring Youth Programs

To help make the process of finding an engaging activity for your child during the school year, we've created the Greater New Haven Spring Youth Programs Directory. This directory is comprised of a list of programs categorized by grade/age and area of interest.  Feel free to use this tool to help you find a program that's just right for your child, keeping them engaged, learning, and connected to their peers and community. Contact the agency directly for openings and registration.

If you are a part of an organization providing spring youth programming and would like to be added to this directory, please contact Shelly Hicks.
