We have compiled a list of after-school activities to assist you in finding the perfect place where your children can be engaged after the school day and meet new friends, do something they already enjoy, learn something new, and have fun.

Our After-School Activities resource guide will be online only and updated regularly, so keep checking for additional listings. If you want to be listed in this online guide, send your activity name/business, phone number, and email to  afterschool@independent.com.

Happy back-to-school 2025, students (and parents too).
