Safe Haven after-school programming engages students in academic and recreational activities that fosters the development of peer and mentor relationships to help students stay on track at school. To register for a safe haven program, complete the consent form linked with the list of sites below.
Safe Haven operates in three cycles over the course of the year:
- After school: September - June
- Spring break: March - April
- Summer break: June - August
Safe Haven sites across the city offer out-of-school time programming for all CPS students. The program also offers programming specifically tailored to spring break and summer. Safe Haven sites serve as contingency sites for unexpected interruptions in a school day(s). Healthy meals will be provided at all locations. Hours of operation may vary by site.
If you have general questions about the program, contact the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives at 773-553-2500 or email faithbased@cps.edu.
