Hope 7 has over 50 years of experience providing after-school enrichment and supervision for youth in Troy’s East Side Neighborhood. Our program is open to students from Troy City School District, Troy Prep, and Albany charter schools. A NYS licensed program, we operate in compliance with all NYS Office of Child and Family (OCFS) regulations, background checks and training. Our goal is to provide a safe, nurturing environment for all children. Programming includes homework, snack time, arts and crafts, physical recreation, special events and community participation.

​During our after-school program children enjoy a warm hearty snack that meets USDA Child and Adult Care Program (CACFP) nutritional guidelines for an evening meal, have a time of supervised homework with assistance provided as needed, and have opportunities for creative and physical activity based on the developmental capabilities and interests of the children. Students can also participate freely in extracurricular activities that may include clubs, organized interactive activities like cooking demonstrations and science experiments, fun contests and more.
