Mission

3 D's Aftercare Inc.'s STREAM afterschool program serves under-resourced school aged youth ages 4-13 in Roosevelt, Freeport, Hempstead, and Baldwin, providing a safe and enriching environment to unlock their full potential. Through an integrated approach implemented by paid staff, interns, volunteers, and community partners, that blends hands-on STREAM learning with essential life skills development, mental health support, and entrepreneurial training, we empower them to become confident, self-aware, and contributing members of their communities. STREAM initiatives: We foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills during early care, afterschool, summer camp, ESL classes, workshops, and community programming. Signature programs: We address diverse needs with Dr. Zoe's signature programs like The Teen Parent that Rocks Parenting Program, Middle School Mingle, The Teen Café, DASH, ZOEY and Aged Like Fine Wine 55+ Club. Essential program components: We provide family-style meals, life skills training, social-emotional learning, conflict resolution, mental health counseling, peer mentoring, and cultural enrichment.
