During the School Year
A variety of programs are offered to youth in grades 6th – 8th and 9th – 12th to provide positive, engaging after school activities and develop their social, emotional, and leadership skills.
Programs
THRIVE programs respond to what youth have said they need: practical, engaging, skill-based learning that prepares them for life beyond high school. THRIVE is designed to help youth grow, connect, and receive support while participating in opportunities that will propel them into their next chapter of life.

The Shaker Heights Youth Center, in collaboration with the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Cleveland (UUCC), oversees this after-school program for Shaker Heights Middle School students. The program focuses on increasing social skills, life skills, and academic competence.
