After School
All girls deserve a Strong, Smart, and Bold community beyond school where they find their voices, experience joy and connection, express themselves authentically, accomplish their goals, and feel cherished.
Center Programming at East and West Denver Campus
We provide comprehensive learning experiences beyond school for girls to develop social and emotional health, practice leadership, and explore movement, wellness, STEM, and life skills. We foster an inclusive and positive sisterhood where girls build meaningful relationships. All girls leave with a strong sense of self, new skills, and meaningful relationships. They are bolder, their voices are louder, their impact is greater, and their community is bigger.

Our afterschool program runs Monday through Friday from 3:00 pm to 6:30 pm. Drop off is from 3:00 pm to 4:30 pm. When girls arrive, they will have time to eat supper (provided by GIMD), enjoy free time, and then will go to their classes to learn about that day’s topic. Parent pick up is from 6pm to 6:30pm.
Transportation is provided for select schools. We may be able to add your child’s school to our pick up route if there are at least four other participants interested and it is within a reasonable distance. Please email us for more information.
