As part of Mayor Joyce's Project Childhood initiative, the Town of Braintree is working to expand access to kids' activities outside of school hours - through expanded partnerships with public and private organizations. As the Town explores opportunities to leverage our resources to support young families, we are currently exploring interest and need in after-school programming in Braintree for children ages 5-12. Your feedback will help us consider design elements for future programming that meet our community's needs. This survey is anticipated to take about 5-7 minutes of your time–we thank you in advance for your input.
