Community Afterschool Program (CAPS)

The Community Afterschool Program (CAPS) is a free recreation-based program for youth in kindergarten through 6th grade that is offered at nine local community centers across the City of Raleigh. The program includes recreational games, arts, crafts, and various special activities. A light snack is provided daily. Program participants will also have time to work on homework with some assistance; however, we do not provide tutoring services.

CAPS is available Monday through Friday afternoons following the Wake County School System’s traditional school calendar. While there is no program on teacher workdays, holidays, or when schools close early due to inclement weather we do offer alternate programs to assist in these times. Please make sure to ask about our Weather-bound program for inclement weather days and Youth Escape School (YES) program for teacher workdays. Transportation is not provided. Program hours vary by site. For more information, please contact a participating community center.
