Parents or youth interested in Carpinteria High School After-School Group should contact group lead Nic Aguilar at 805-705-4560 to enroll.

AHA!’s after-school program investigates themes of social responsibility, character development, diversity appreciation, creative self-expression, and enhanced emotional intelligence, while helping teens discover healthy outlets for passionate expression. The program also includes focused discussion and lessons on problem-solving, compassionate communication, conflict reduction, stress management, personal accountability, social conscience, and dynamic self-expression.

Students enrolled in these groups who keep contractual agreements about being on time, communicating about absences or lateness, and respectful participation earn Community Service credits toward high school graduation or monetary payment.

Most of our after-school groups meet either at the AHA! office (1209 De La Vina St Suite A) or at Jefferson Hall (1525 Santa Barbara Street across from Alice Keck Park Gardens) for the Santa Barbara program, while our Carpinteria after-school group is held at Carpinteria High School (4810 Foothill Road in Carpinteria).
