Safe Haven Programs

CPS partners with faith-based and nonprofit organizations to host the Safe Haven program to provide all CPS students with additional learning time outside regular school hours.

Safe Haven after-school programming engages students in academic and recreational activities that fosters the development of peer and mentor relationships to help students stay on track at school.

Safe Haven operates in three cycles over the course of the year:

  • After school: October - May
  • Spring break: March - April
  • Summer break: July - August

Safe Haven sites across the city offer out-of-school time programming for all CPS students. The program also offers programming specifically tailored to spring break and summer. Safe Haven sites serve as contingency sites for unexpected interruptions in a school day(s). Healthy meals will be provided at all locations. Hours of operation may vary by site.

If you have general questions about the program, contact the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives at 773-553-2500 or email faithbased@cps.edu.
