Northwestern University Settlement Association

The overriding goal of Northwestern University Settlements After School program is to help our children develop the skills they need to make wise life choices. The staff works with each child in age-appropriate ways to help them stay in school, say no to drugs, alcohol and teen sex, and respect themselves and their community.
Children between the ages of 5 and 12 come to the Settlement from 2:30 to 5:30 every day during the school year. The Peewees (5-6), Little Rascals (7-8), and Juniors (8-12) begin their afternoon reviewing the days schedule, followed by a snack, homework help, special interest classes (dance, music, drama, and visual arts, seasonal sports, and woodcraft), Read to Win, and a closing ceremony. Special events may include field trips, library visits, overnight visits to House In The Wood Camp and holiday parties.
