Leaders of Today Peace Academy

Announcement regarding the future closing of the MFNH After-School Program at end of 2022-2023 school year

Dear Community Members:

It is with regret that we announce that the Margaret Fuller Neighborhood House will be closing the After-School program at the end of the current city of Cambridge 2022-2023 school year.

This is a difficult decision, and it saddens us to make it. The After-School program is a legacy program that has served multiple generations of children and families. We recognize that many of you, like us, have a strong emotional connection to this program. And we certainly know that creates uncertainties for the current 32 children and their parents. Announcing this future closure many months in advance enables us to support our families in planning for the future.

The Leaders of Today Peace Academy is MFNH's school-age program. During the year, we offer an after-school program. In the summer, we operate a full-day summer camp. Our after-school curriculum includes aspects of social-emotional learning, STEAM, and cultural diversity. Our teacher's utilize a combination of small group and one-on-one instruction. We empower kids to be independent and advocate for themselves and their community. We're the leaders of tomorrow TODAY.

We accept children between the ages of four years ten months and twelve years. We are open to families in Cambridge and the Greater Boston Area. To apply for the program, please complete the Google Form below. The form is available in a vareity of languages including English, Spanish, and Haitian-Creole.
