The South End Community Center provides free structured programming for the children and youth in our community. You must pre-register to participate.

SECC Program overview:

The South End Community Center was a joint project of the federal, provincial and municipal governments. Under the neighborhood improvement program the center officially opened its doors on November 28, 1978. It has since then changed hands from the City of Saint John and now operates under The Boys and Girls Club of Saint John. The center offers three free structured programs; after-school, evening and summer, all focused on providing young people with a foundation for building assets. Programs are developed and run by dedicated, enthusiastic staff who are focused to inspire! Level Up After-School Program thanks to the Windsor Foundation

We will be closed for evening program tonight :(

Hopefully back to our normal weekly schedule soon!

Remember, there is a PD day on Monday, so there will be no evening program that night. But there will be our new PD day programming that afternoon from 1:00pm to 3:00pm for ages 5 to 11!

Hey everyone!

We are going to offer some PD day programming on the next 3 PD days before the holidays.

This Monday, November 2nd, we will be doing some crafts and going outside to play.

This will be for kiddos ages 5 to 11. This is a drop in program, similar to evening.

If your child is already registered with us for after school or evening program, then they are good to go!

If not, then you can fill out an evening program registration here and that will cover them for the PD days: https://sjclub.wufoo.com/forms/r148l76r0fblio8/

Hey everyone!

Just an update for Evening Program tonight. We will be open, but there will be no gym. The school was doing some work and there are still some machines and large pieces of wood in there. We feel safer just avoiding the area for the night. Hopefully we will have access again tomorrow!

So for tonight, there will be video games available, lego, and colouring pages :)
