Churubusco Programming Update
The Center has been serving students in the Churubusco School district through afterschool programs between 2020-2025. Due to cost and budget limitations, we won’t be able to have ASC/SERVE next year in the same way we’ve been able to in past years. As part of this, The Center has made the difficult decision to pause Busco programming after April 30th, 2025, for the foreseeable future. This decision was not made lightly – it was very difficult, but unfortunately necessary. We truly hope this pause is temporary and that, in time, we’ll be able to find more support to bring it back, but we do not currently have a timeline.
