Availability!

Each month the SCC After-School Enrichment program will offer an arts and ceramics curriculum that will connect students to the world by investigating diverse cultural traditions and the common themes that bind us. Through these classes, the Community Center is helping children learn about and celebrate the large and beautiful world we live in!

Half of the program will be in the art room with Claire Carlomagno exploring fiber, printmaking, painting, and more! The other half of the program will be spent learning the fundamentals of handbuilding with clay with Margaret Thomas. Instructors will prepare lessons that engage and teach while the children create.

The themes of each month will be focused on:

October: Halloween and Día de Muertos
November: Samhain, Christmas, Hanukkah

This after-school program includes 1 art class and 1 ceramics class each Wednesday.

Drop off at 3:30 and pick up at 5:30. The Center is working on a consistent place for drop off and pick up. Until then, you will be notified where to drop off and pick up your child each week.

We also offer a free pick-up service for your kids if you are unable to drop them off after school. Please contact Melissa Agocs, the Youth Program Director, for more information. You can contact her at [email protected].

The priority of the Sonoma Community Center is the physical and emotional safety of its members, staff, and volunteers. Sonoma Community Center maintains a zero-tolerance policy for child abuse. Sonoma Community Center implements policies and procedures for members, employees, volunteers, or any victims of sexual abuse or misconduct to report any suspicion or allegation of abuse. In addition, the Sonoma Community Center does annual safety assessments and provides regular emergency procedure training for all staff. The Sonoma Community Center has also engaged local partners, such as the Sonoma Police Department. Any violation of this policy would result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.

The full policy can be read here in the tab here.

If we are able to offer a reschedule date but you are unable to make the new date, we will gladly offer credit towards a future class.

Sonoma Community Center

Since its founding in 1952, the purpose of the Sonoma Community Center has been to build community by offering opportunities for Sonomans to connect, learn, and grow – together. We envision a campus where people of all ages, races, gender identities, sexual orientations, language backgrounds, artistic talents, income levels, interests, and more feel not just welcome, but at home. A place where everyone finds something to suit their needs.
