The program serves youth enrolled in 1st through 6th grade. MAP operates Monday through Friday from 2:45 to 6:00 p.m. and follows the Chicago Public Schools calendar. Children enrolled in the program are walked to the Irving Park Lutheran Church recreation center by MAP staff. After enjoying a health snack, the children begin work on homework, a strong focus of the program.
