About After School Youth Classes

Our programs serve youth in grades K-12 at Minneapolis Public School locations across the city to ensure all students have access to high quality programs. Community Education Youth Programs deliver a wide range of high-quality enrichment learning opportunities during out of school time (afterschool, release days, and summer). Community Education offerings support youth to develop strong peer relationships and foster new skills, through our intentional program design that fosters cultural identity, youth voice and leadership.

In order to ensure that our high-quality enrichment classes are accessible to all families, Minneapolis Community Education is now offering fees on a sliding scale. Contact the Community Education Youth & Adult Programs coordinator at your school for more information.

  • Bike & Scoot Adventures (Grades K-1)

    Wenonah Physical Education Teacher Mr. Pritchard will be teaching our Biking & Scoot Adventures this spring! This biking and scooter class will take place in the Wenonah Gym and outside at the Minneapolis Parks. This class is perfect for your child that needs more movement in their lives! Lessons are designed to keep kids engaged in learning activities and to keep their heart rates elevated. Character building, cooperative skills, individual success and safety are all emphasized. Students should bring the following: Shorts, t-shirts, gym shoes, sweat pants/sweat shirts (if needed due to the weather) a water bottle, and an extra snack if desired. Sun screen will not be provided, but your student may bring their own sunscreen and apply it during after-school snack time. You can drop off your student’s bike or scooter before school on the first day with Mr. Pritchard. If you need a scooter or bike provided, please let Mr. Pritchard (andrew.pritchard@mpls.k12.mn.us) and Lizzie (lizzie.sanchez@mpls.k12.mn.us) know ahead of time. Community Education uses a sliding scale model for program fees so our afterschool programs can be financially sustainable and more equitable. Families are asked to pick the price that they are able to pay. By more clearly articulating our lower cost options, we have removed the barrier that some may have felt in making scholarship requests. When families participate at the higher price levels, they help make the program more sustainable.
