Jonna Wolfenberg from the YWCA recently visited the Rotary Club of Niagara Falls Sunrise to share insights on the impact of afterschool programs in our community. Her presentation highlighted how these programs provide a safe, supportive environment for children during critical after-school hours while also fostering learning, confidence, and social development.

Jonna spoke about the growing need for accessible and inclusive programming, particularly for families balancing busy schedules. She emphasized how afterschool initiatives help bridge gaps in care, support academic success, and create meaningful opportunities for youth to connect and thrive.

Members were inspired by the YWCA’s commitment to empowering young people and strengthening families across the Niagara Region. The discussion sparked interest in how Rotary can further support and advocate for programs that make a lasting difference in the lives of local children.
