About Us
The After School Program at the Center of Northern York's Knowledge Association is staffed by a dedicated team of generous volunteers. In fact, we are proud to say we are staffed entirely by volunteers! This means that our most experienced and active volunteers form our Board of Directors and everything about our programming is made possible with the help of these deeply generous individuals. Some of our volunteers are teachers and librarians; others are college students and high school students, many of whom are interested in teaching or entering the educational field. We do offer college and high school credits in exchange for volunteer hours. Whether you are interested in earning credits through volunteerism or whether you are community member who wants to lend a helping hand, you can contact us to learn more about our exciting volunteer opportunities.
