Youth In Motion

Offered In: Revere

Youth in Motion is an 8,000 square foot space where kids ages 5 to 14 enjoy active play and personalized learning with the goal of creating healthy lifestyle choices — all while having tons of fun! The program is open Monday through Friday from school dismissal until 6:00 pm, with full-day services available from 7:00 am to 5:30 pm during school vacation weeks, school professional development days and the summer months.

Wellness & Mindfulness

Learning skills and habits for a healthy lifestyle

With reductions in opportunities for physical activity during the school day, Youth in Motion gets children moving during the out-of-school time hours to better improve their mental, physical and overall wellbeing. Kids play basketball and group games in the Gymnasium, while the Dance and Yoga Studio offers movement and mindfulness opportunities. The Reflection Room provides space for high-needs learners to relax, self-regulate and decompress.

Healthy Food for Mind and Body

Developing habits early for a lifetime of health and wellness

After working up an appetite dancing, playing or creating, children enjoy a healthy after school snack in the nutrition café. The fully stocked kitchen gives kids a safe place for hands-on cooking projects. Kids learn to make healthy food choices every day – and learn that healthy can also be delicious!

Enrichment Classes

Learning through exploration and creativity

Kids explore and expand their interests during self-selected 10-week enrichment classes, such as sports, dance and theater. Our STEAM lab provides kids with hands-on learning time for Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math concepts, with creative building projects and unique science experiments making every day an opportunity to learn something new.

Opportunities for Homework Completion

Providing a quiet space for homework

Kids who want to get ahead on their schoolwork or read the next chapter in their favorite book can head to the Library & Computer Lab for a quiet space with tables, desks and computers. While homework time is optional, Youth In Motion staff encourages kids and provides support with homework questions.

Trained and Nurturing Staff

Building lasting relationships in an inclusive environment

Each day kids engage with a core Youth in Motion staff team – a dedicated site director, mature, fun-loving staff, licensed social workers and inclusion specialists who work with the program to support children and staff. The staff represents the diverse backgrounds of students and ensures program curriculum, supplies and materials represent varying cultures and interests. Our family greeter ensures student and staff safety and are a family point of contact for any questions.
