The Compass Zone Program is a state-licensed after-school program for youth ages 6 to 13, designed to support social, cultural, character, and physical development through homework assistance, gym activities, and game room sessions. The program is licensed as a School-Aged Child Care (SACC) program and regulated by the Department of Early Education and Care (EEC). Both Compass Zone and Summer Camp adhere to the Out-of-School-Time (OST) guidelines and standards set by the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
