SONYC & COMPASS Locations

The COMPASS and SONYC concept focuses on the fact that the major part of a young person’s life that takes place outside of the school classroom – after school, on weekends, and during school vacations. This free time is optimal for developing a young person’s social, emotional and academic capabilities. It also represents a time when many young people are without parental supervision and need to be in safe and supportive environments. COMPASS and SONYC programs offer a balanced mix of academic support, sports and recreational activities, the arts and cultural experiences. OST programs not only build upon the school-day lessons, but they also open up new worlds and opportunities for youth.
