BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) – Back-to-school time is just around the corner, and so is the fun! Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend says it has a few spots left in its After School 2025/26 Membership, and they are ready to welcome new Club Members for an exciting year of connection, creativity and confidence-building.
From art and STEM to gym games, snack time, and new friendships, our programs give youth a safe place to unwind, explore, and thrive after the bell rings, the announcement said.
Here’s the rest of their news release:
Families can choose from three enrollment options to fit their needs:
Full-Time (Monday through Friday)
Part-Time (Monday and Wednesday)
Part-Time (Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday)
Each option includes a healthy snack, hands-on activities, and caring adult mentors.
We’re also proud to offer complimentary tutoring in partnership with Sylvan Learning for kindergarten through third-grade students. This helps young readers build strong literacy skills that will support them all year long.
“After-school hours matter. They’re a chance for kids to connect with friends, try new things, and feel a sense of belonging. We’re proud to offer spaces where families know their kids are safe, supported and engaged every day,” said Bri Slusser, Interim CEO of Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend.
BGCB is committed to making its programs accessible to all families. Financial assistance is available on a sliding scale based on household income. Families applying for assistance must include either their 2024 1040 form or the two most recent pay stubs for each working adult in the household when submitting their application.
For the 2025-26 school year, program hours will remain consistent with the previous year:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 2:30 to 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday: 1:00 to 5:30 p.m.
