Program Overview:
KHA OST offers comprehensive afterschool and summer camp services across Duval County. With a commitment to accessibility and inclusivity, our program caters to approximately 6,000 students daily, spanning from kindergarten to twelfth grade.

Objectives:
At KHA OST, we believe that every child deserves a safe and supportive environment to grow, learn, and thrive beyond the traditional school day. Our KHA OST program is dedicated to bringing families and communities together, creating a nurturing space where children can flourish during the crucial out-of-school hours. By offering enriching activities, academic support, and positive social interactions, we empower children to explore their passions, develop valuable skills, and build meaningful connections with peers and mentors. Through collaboration with parents, schools, and community partners, we strive to foster a sense of belonging and ensure that all children can reach their full potential. Supervision is provided at a ratio of 1 adult to 20 children. Together, we are building a brighter future for our children and strengthening the fabric of our communities.
