Our Mission

Picture
Members of our community have joined together to assure that the children of the Northshore area have access to affordable and quality out-of-school programs.  Over the past 15 years, knowledge of the out-of-school field has grown substantially, confirming that quality out-of-school programs help children become more engaged in school, reduce their likelihood of taking part in at-risk behaviors or acting out in school, and help raise their academic performance. A greater emphasis on evidence-based practices has increased the number of evaluations of out-of-school programs, which in turn has helped parents, educators, business leaders and policy makers to see the range of positive outcomes associated with participation in out-of-school programs. 

The Hammond Youth Education Alliance formed in 2013, is a registered 501c3  and is currently DBA Collaborative Youth Education Alliance.​ 
Uniting people and resources to ensure quality, accessible out-of-school programs for the Northshore region.
