After School Program
After-School Program for Montgomery County Public School (MCPS) Middle School and High School Latino Students
Identity’s flagship after-school program combines the strength of the Positive Youth Development model with cultural and linguistic competency to provide a safe setting for vulnerable youth, many of whom have little supervision or structure during after school hours. 
Identity runs the After-School Program sessions in various middle schools and high schools throughout Montgomery County. The sessions focus on building social skills and feature activities that foster teamwork, leadership development, goal setting, conflict resolution, and community building. Each program cohort ends with an intensive three-day retreat that serves to reinforce the program curriculum.
At Gaithersburg High School, Identity runs a curriculum focusing on violence prevention, integration, and social skills-building designed especially for Latino students who have experienced interrupted education. This specialized program is offered during school hours as part of the actual school curriculum for these students. Participants also receive our mental health counseling and case management services.
