Prospect Hill Kids' Club partners with the community center at Prospect Hill Terrace, Waltham's largest low-income housing community, in order to provide the community's children with a safe place to come after school. Our coordinators and volunteers serve as role models and mentors to some of the children of Prospect Hill's 140 families.
Our after-school program is free for students and runs Monday through Friday from 2:45-5:30 p.m. A typical Prospect Hill Kids’ Club day starts with getting the kids off the bus, walking them to the center for snack time, and then helping them unwind from the school day with games, sports, and crafts. Some kids work with college buddies for homework help, but mostly they are just excited to play and talk about their day at school.
Mission Statement
Prospect Hill Kids’ Club (PHKC) provides a safe and productive after-school program that promotes academics, leadership, and a sense of community for the children that reside in Prospect Hill Terrace (PHT), a subsidized housing community in Waltham, MA. Our kids are students in kindergarten through 8th Grade, and are provided with healthy snacks, homework help, fun activities, and an extensive library. Through Waltham Group, PHKC is responsible for recruiting and training Brandeis student volunteers, and transporting them to and from the program at PHT. We run programming five days a week from 2:45-5:15 p.m. during each academic semester.
