club48 Afterschool & Out-of-School Time program

Located in Boston’s South End, United South End Settlements’ afterschool and out-of-school time program, club48, provides your children with a high-quality afterschool care experience.

We ensure the quality of our services through our state-of-the-art STEAM-driven curriculum. We develop your children into future innovators, collaborators, and leaders by incorporating the principles of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics through an arts lens.
