About Us
Casa Árbol is an after-school program for elementary-aged youth in East Boston. We offer a space of support where youth can express themselves and grow.
Our program has three focus areas:
Outdoors
Youth spend time outside gardening, playing team sports, and being active. We also practice simple breathing, relaxation, and mindfulness exercises to help them feel calm and focused.
Art
Through music and visual arts, children explore their creativity and express themselves freely. Art is used both for learning and for releasing emotions, reducing stress, and engaging the senses.
Home
Here, we practice daily living skills such as cooking, helping with chores, and doing homework. The goal is for children to gain confidence and independence and learn to manage their daily routines.
