After School Program

Winter/Spring 2025-26 Enrichment Classes

Welcome to the Alameda Education Foundation’s After School Enrichment program!  Our program offers hundreds of after school classes for students in grades TK – 8 in athletics,  art/crafts, performing arts, math, science, technology, languages, writing and much more.

AEF classes are NOT one size fits all, rather you can select classes and activities that align with your student’s interests and passions. AEF classes are held at every AUSD elementary school and Nea. Middle school programs are at central locations.

Registration opens January 8, 2026.

Prices for Winter/Spring After School Enrichment classes will increase by $10 after January 29, 2026.

Please keep checking these listings for the latest information on classes. Note that all AEF program schedules are subject to change.

What makes AEF Enrichment Classes unique?

  • Small class sizes with professional instruction
  • Students learn valuable new skills
  • Students are engaged, active, and having fun!

We also offer up to 100% scholarships for qualifying students (please see detailed information below).

Does your child have adaptive needs?

Students with adaptive needs are welcome to join AEF programs. Please note that if a student needs a one-on-one assistant or paraprofessional during the school day (Behavioral Plan/504 with Permission), they must also have an assistant or a paraprofessional to work with them during the enrichment class or camp. Please contact AEF at least three weeks before the program starts to coordinate this. Assistants/paras must have Livescan and TB clearance on file with AUSD. If AEF makes the arrangement for the paraprofessional, AEF pays the cost for this service for the first 5 families to request per season. If we receive requests beyond five, we will charge a small fee to cover the cost. If you cancel the class less than 7 days from the start of the class, you will be charged a $50 cancellation fee that will be paid to the paraprofessional.

School Site Ambassador Program

AEF's After School Enrichment program can only exist if there is a parent volunteer to help coordinate the program at each school site.

Site Ambassadors are responsible for helping to plan classes for your school, working with the principal to make sure each class has a location on campus, sending some emails to the parents reminding them of upcoming classes, and working with onsite aftercare for coordinating students taking the classes.

It is also recommended that Ambassadors meet the after school instructors at least once, especially on their first day of classes, to help get them acquainted and make sure everything runs smoothly.

You will receive a stipend from the Alameda Education Foundation as a 'thank you' for your help in managing the program.

Being an Ambassador is not difficult and you will receive training and support from AEF staff. It is a perfect volunteer opportunity for a working parent who would like to be more involved in their child's school.

If you are interested or would like to find out more information please email [email protected].
