YMCA After School Program Available at the Jacobs Center!

The program offers a daily meal, activities and academic support to help your child have a safe, active and educational afternoon after school, from Monday through Friday, 2-6 p.m. Families are encouraged to apply regardless of ability to pay, as the YMCA can help families with financial assistance and funding options.

Southeastern San Diego Nonprofit Network Facebook Group
We’ve started a Facebook group for Southeastern San Diego nonprofits to share nonprofit work, programs, resources, fundraisers and grant opportunities within or benefitting the community, so we can all spread the word wider! If you work at or with a nonprofit and would like to be a part of our network, please join the group.
The Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation relies on the spirit of generosity of individual, corporate, foundation and government entities to bring resources like education for all ages, cultural experiences and current health updates to Southeastern San Diego. If you or your employer are interested in learning how you can give back to your community too, please contact Selina Hudgins at [email protected].
