Children’s Theater Classes
We will offer Children’s Theater classes after school to develop fundamental theater skills in the area of speaking before a group/projection, character development, improving acting skills, lighting and set-design. These classes are open for ages 8 & up.

We are pleased to announce that funding in the amount of $10,000.00 from the Maine Arts Commission was recently awarded. The Cultural Facilities Accessibility program will support the replacement of several of the facilities HVAC – heating and cooling units. The project was “funded in part by a grant from the Maine Arts Commission, an independent state agency supported by the National Endowment for the Arts.”

 

Fiddlehead Center partners with Afterschool for All

In the U.S. today, more than 14 million children - 1 in 4 youth are on their own after school. These children face grave risks. They are also missing out on opportunities to learn and grow. Afterschool programs keep kids safe, help working families and inspire learning. Our nation's families and communities know these programs are important. Nine in ten Americans, across party line, demographic group, geography and age have said for five consecutive years that they think all children should have access to afterschool programs.

Afterschool for All: Project 2010 brings together individuals and organizations from across the nation who support the vision that all children and youth deserve access to quality, affordable afterschool programs by the year 2010.

What do Project 2010 Partners believe?

Afterschool for All: Project 2010 partners believe in the importance of universal access to afterschool for all youth in the U.S. by the year 2010. Partners agree that afterschool programs:

  • Provide safe, challenging, engaging and fun learning experiences to help children and youth develop their social, emotional, physical, cultural and academic skills.
  • Work in collaboration with schools and community resources to offer children and youth an array of accessible and diverse services and opportunities.
  • romote positive relationships among children, youth, families and adults.
  • Engage children, youth, families, schools and community partners in ongoing design, implementation and evaluation of activities.
  • Invest in diverse, skilled and committed staff.
