School Year Program
The Friendship Club After-School Program is a recreation program for children in grades 1-5 attending Albany elementary schools (Marin, Cornell, and Ocean View).
The program provides a well-supervised environment for children to make friends, enhance self-esteem and develop social skills. Friendship Club offers a variety of activities from indoor/outdoor games, afternoon snack as well as a supervised homework period daily. Our program fosters an atmosphere that allows children to be entertained in a safe after-school setting.
Program hours are 1:55-6:00 pm, Monday through Friday, with a full capacity of 55 students. A minimum attendance of three days per week is required, and morning care and drop-in services are not available. Services include daily transportation from Albany elementary schools to our facility.
