Our Popular After-school Programs

Got kids? The experts say: Let them play!

Our after-school program, provided by the Human Services and Recreation Department in partnership with Pasadena Unified School District, lets children choose from scads of activities.


The goal is to provide safe and healthy settings that are fun for children ages 5 to 14, including a weekly schedule of art and crafts, organized as well as spontaneous games and sports, a health and wellness program, homework assistance, free snacks at most sites, special events, walking field trips and more.

After-school programs are at PUSD playgrounds throughout Pasadena and operate from the time the school dismissal bell rings until 6 p.m. daily. Programs are closed on school holidays and pupil-free days.

Enrollment fees per school semester are just $25 per child and $22.50 for each additional sibling, and cover program materials and supplies, wristband, photo identification card, secondary insurance in case of emergency and some special events and activities.

Enrollment is limited, but there's still room at many sites. You can register online here.


For more information contact Stephanie Carter at (626) 744-7532 or scarter@cityofpasadena.net; or Elizabeth Luna at (626) 744-7302 or eluna@cityofpasadena.net. They work in the HS&R Department.

By the way, summer's coming! We'll need seasonal staff for our summer recreation programs. Apply here no later than Thursday, Feb. 26.

I am so glad you can keep these programs going during these difficult times. It's nice to see that Pasadena is making its children a priority.

Thanks for posting about this. That fee is unbelievably low! I'm with Margaret, feels good to know the children's programs are prioritized.

I agree, its great that these programs haven't been chopped and the fee is nominal. I am curious, what if a parent cannot come by the $25 to enroll their children, is there a means of financial assistance?
