The City & Borough of Juneau Emergency Operations Center has lowered the overall community risk to Level 1 Minimal. BAM Afterschool Activities are operating with screening processes in place. Registration and masks are required.
BAM Afterschool Activities
There will be no BAM Activities the week of March 22nd-26th due to spring break. Activities will return as normal on March 29th.
BAM Afterschool is a program of the Zach Gordon Youth Center in collaboration with the Juneau School District, community partners, and volunteers to provide free afterschool activities for Juneau middle school students.
We believe all youth deserve free & fun afterschool activities led by positive, healthy mentors.
