YMCA Urban Services Wolfpack Afterschool Program

The Academy Afterschool Program (Wolfpack) is a partnership between The Academy SF @McAteer and YMCA Urban Services.

The Wolfpack After School Program at the Academy SF @ McAteer will maintain its commitment to delivering a structured weekly schedule aimed at empowering students to enhance their academic, artistic, culinary, and intrapersonal skills. Furthermore, we are pleased to offer dedicated academic assistance through tutoring, specifically tailored to students’ needs in subjects including Math, English, and Science.

The program will continue to present diverse opportunities for students across all grade levels, inviting them to engage in enriching activities such as cooking, arts, and physical activities such as strength conditioning. Our core emphasis remains on helping students unlock their potential by fostering social and emotional awareness.
