Neighborhood Services offers After School programs at elementary schools in conjunction with the Santa Rosa City Schools District. Serving hundreds of students after every school day, these programs provide organized homework assistance, recreational activities, arts and crafts, and various clubs focusing on enhancing healthy youth development and positive environments for the students.

Each of the After School Programs offers students a fun, safe, and educational place to be after school. Each program runs weekdays until 6:00 p.m. The After School Programs are offered August through May, and follows the same holiday and vacation schedule as the Santa Rosa City Schools District.
