Youth Programs

​NCJC offers a variety of positive out-of-school programming that supports young people's development and well-being. Through mentoring, tutoring, employment, and health and wellness programs, we offer opportunities for youth to learn new skills, build positive relationships, and explore their interests in a safe and supportive environment. Our programs are tailored to meet the needs and interests of our diverse neighborhoods, whether it's arts and crafts, sports and fitness, science and technology, or leadership and service, we have something for everyone. Our programs are led by trained staff who follow evidence-based practices to ensure quality and effectiveness.
