Spring in the Soil – Free Outdoor After School at PS20

Registration Open for In-Person students grades 4-5 — 30 Spots!

Our afterschool program is designed to help young people form community, become stewards of the environment and their health, and have fun while doing it! 

In addition to teambuilding & regular check-ins, each group will cycle through the following activities: 

Mindful Movement

Each day, we have a designated time for practicing mindfulness and movement, including dance, stretching, active games, yoga, etc.

Urban Agriculture

These activities take place at the PS20 School Garden, where young people will get their hands dirty and ask big questions about where our food comes from and how our choices can affect our environment.

Eco Arts

Young people will explore sustainability through art projects, like using milk cartons to make bird houses, creating signs for the garden, or imagining themselves as Climate Justice Heroes!
