Latchkey is an after-school program offered to children between kindergarten and fourth grade.
The program is free, and it provides students with a safe, structured environment for children who would otherwise have nowhere to go or be left alone at home after school. Latchkey fulfills the needs of almost 30 high-risk students who come from economically challenged families. While at the program, children are provided with snacks, age-appropriate games, playground activities, art projects and learning opportunities. Each year the Latchkey program continues to grow in order to meet the needs of our community. UWSP student volunteers bring their own unique talents and experiences to the program each semester.
