Raze Youth Programs will soon begin taking enrollments for our 2024-2025 Afterschool Programs
Raze Youth programs are designed for youth age 6-17 and offers youth opportunities for self expression through our after school and Summer programs. Our plan is to offer programming during those crucial hours after traditional after school program hours have ended. These are the evening hours when children and youth are most vulnerable to peer person, experiencing negative social activities or simply being home alone because parents work evening or night time hours. We want to bridge that gap time so that our community can fully serve our children, youth and families.
Athletics
Our students will have lots of fun exercising, competing in games and challenges that promote health, wellness and teamwork.
Music
Students will learn the basic of music theory and enjoy vocal lessons. They will also learn basic music recording and engineering.
Media
Media will help our children to navigate through an ever changing and advancing world of information and entertainment. This class will go from magazine editing to developing and launching podcasts.
Film
You don't have to be a genius to operate a camera nor do you need to be in Hollywood to start in a movie. This course will teach students camera operations, film writing and give our youth opportunities to express their creativity through film.
Dance
One of our most loved classes is our performing arts class in which students will learn dance styles, participate in drama skits, and be taught the use of camera, video editing and more.
