After-School & Summer Program
When the school day ends or summer break begins, families need a safe, welcoming place for their kids to go. That’s where Dunbar steps in. Our after- school and summer programs mix homework help with hands-on activities, mentorship, and just plain fun. Kids get the structure and encouragement they need, while parents get peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands. For generations, Dunbar has been that steady place where young people can learn, laugh, and grow
After-School Program
Our after-school program blends academic support with social and emotional growth. Younger children (ages 6–9) take part in the Dunbar Scholars Program, focusing on literacy, math skills, and enrichment activities like STEAM and chess. Older students benefit from the Inner Light program, which provides guidance around self-awareness, resilience, and social-emotional learning. Tutors, mentors, and coaches work side by side with students, creating a safe space where they can learn, play, and build confidence at the end of the school day.

Summer Program
Dunbar’s summer program keeps kids active, curious, and connected when school’s out. Students enjoy a mix of tutoring and enrichment alongside hands-on experiences — from science and art to sports and field trips. Weekly outings to local parks and cultural sites expand their horizons, while special opportunities like out-of-town trips introduce them to new possibilities beyond Syracuse. With dedicated days for STEAM activities, tutoring, and group play, the program strikes a balance between learning and summer fun.
