After the school bell rings

Variety Boys & Girls Club of Queens empowers young people to dream big and build their futures. Each weekday afternoon, children run through our doors with wide smiles ready to storyboard their next film, taste-test a new recipe in our gourmet cooking program, or dive into a hands-on STEM experiment in our science lab.

VBGCQ’s after school program sparks young people's curiosity and supports them to succeed in school, build interpersonal bonds and develop confidence. Whether your child loves coding and science or sports and the arts, the Club offers after school programs in Long Island City, Astoria & Woodside that appeal to the unique curiosity of each and every participant.
