Our mission is to provide a safe, structured and nurturing environment that encourages responsible behavior, respect for others and a positive outlook.

The JCA Youth Services department offers many classes and programs for those in kindergarten through twelfth grade as well as activities for the entire family. Our programs provide social, volunteer and educational components to give your child a place to learn and grow.

Within Youth Services at the JCA, we see ourselves as facilitators of each child’s development. We seek to develop a positive after school experience for your child so that they can better their future. Even when children are not in school, it is important to continue developing social, emotional, cognitive and physical skills, and promote character building.

JCA After School is here to help your child grow mentally and physically with a well-rounded curriculum that includes homework help and tutoring as well as sports options, art, volunteer opportunities and other enrichment experiences. For parents in Jacksonville, FL, the JCA After School Program offers peace of mind that your child is getting the best possible care and having fun at the same time! Our dedication to quality programming and skilled JCA staff means your child has great teachers and activities that ensure they receive the care and attention they need when they leave school for the day. JCA staff and counselors are trained with the latest educational techniques and methods to best guide your child.
