The Springfield YMCA’s Riverton Afterschool Program is for students in grades K-5th. Our program is located in Riverton Elementary School. Our afterschool programs, also located in other communities around Springfield, are modeled after the Food, Fun and Afterschool program designed by the Harvard School of Public Health Prevention Research Center and the YMCA of the USA. Our program was piloted in Y afterschool sites throughout the country with the goal of increasing physical activity and healthy eating habits in those children in our programs. The Y program lets kids be kids with a focus on FUN! The Y promotes youth development, healthy living and social responsibility and so do our activities! Children play group games, read stories, create crafts, enjoy board and card games, and are involved in making snacks, to name a few activities. We foster a safe place to learn, have fun and get active.
