Youth Guidance creates and implements school-based programs that enable children to overcome obstacles, focus on their education and, ultimately, to succeed in school and in life.
The Youth Guidance Extended Day Program at South Loop Elementary School is designed to meet the social, academic, and emotional needs of students, while helping to develop their awareness of arts, culture, health, and wellness. The program provides a safe and supportive environment where students can develop and grow alongside their peers through a variety of unique lessons, academic support, and classes including fine art, dance, music, and drama. Our staff works closely with school-day teachers to develop curriculums and activities that will supplement their school-day lessons while promoting the development of essential social and emotional skills.
