ALL CAFE PROGRAMS: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

It all begins with a hope for your child and for your family.

How do I know which program is the best fit for me?

  • What program offers Math and Language support but is also fun and engaging for my child?

    • Perhaps your child has experienced academic setbacks during COVID. The After School Academy provides customised Academic tutoring for your child in addition to Visual Art and Music programming that further enforces Language and Math concepts. The program runs from 2:00 pm- 7:00 pm on Weekdays

  • If my child already has weekday activities, are there any other opportunities for my child at CAFE?

    • Perhaps your child is unable to attend during the week but still wants tutoring but also meaningful outlets for holistic development. The Saturday Academy offers a full day of activities including Academic Tutoring; Robotics and Coding for children 10 and above; SAT Prep Classes between 10: 00am- 12:00pm. The Afternoon period is focused on Arts classes and Pillar Courses including Visual Arts, Music Theory & Performance on the Steelpan, Diversity Equity and Inclusion Programming, Sewing and Textiles, Cooking and many other areas for Life Skills and creative development for your child.

    • For Highschoolers, Music Theory and Performance is offered from 4:00 -6:00 pm on Saturdays

  • What is the Education and Family Support Program all about?

    • The EFS program was developed specifically in response to COVID and offers a range of programming for both students and families. These are offered in partnership with Elementary, Middle and Highschools in Prince George’s County and so you can often access this program through your school. If your school is not offering this program and yourself and other parents are interested in accessing this, please reach out to our Outreach Manager at lcameron@icafeyouth.org to discuss how we may be able to make this a reality.

    • The EFS program offers English as a Second Language; Yoga; Family Cooking, Health & Wellness Nights; Arts & Craft and much more.

  • What if I want to launch a business using my skills or I want to turn a hobby into something more or I have a creative project that I want to share with the world, can I partner with CAFE in building and offering this?

    • Yes! CAFE engages a range of partnerships, and will be offering Entrepreneurship workshops and programs. Reach out to our Executive Director at mbarrow@cafeyouth.org to speak with her about what you would like to do and how CAFE might be able to partner! mbarrow@cafeyouth.org
