Visit BOSTONavigator

BOSTONavigator is the place to find the most current information about Boston's rich out-of-school time opportunities. Created through a collaboration of the City of Boston, BOSTnet, and Boston After School & Beyond, BOSTONavigator is a valuable online resource for children and youth, parents, guardians, and other caring adults to find youth programming in their neighborhoods.
  • You can find programs that run after school, before school, on weekends, during the summer, and during school vacations.
  • The programs listed in BOSTONavigator are all located within the City of Boston (or provide transportation from Boston) and provide supervision for children between the ages of 5 and 18.
Whatever your interests – sports, arts, academics, community service, or the environment – you can find it here.
 
Do you represent an organization that would like to see its program information listed in BostoNavigator?  Contact Patricia McGuiness at pmcguiness@bostonbeyond.org to add or update information.
