Second Home is a community supported, affordable, and academically focused before and after school care program supporting some of the most marginalized families in Harrisonburg, VA. Second Home is licensed and a United Way partner agency. Since 2007, Second Home has helped hundreds of students improve academically with special focus on Math and Literacy. Our students have learned social and life skills, and participated in character building, healthy lifestyle, and career exploration activities.
