The program is intended for those 12 – 17 years old and is provided to the community at no cost.

Access for All
Memphis Rox offers no-cost after school programming for youth ages 12 to 17. With no barrier to entry, working families can trust their children will be supervised in a safe and enriching environment from Monday through Thursday between the hours of 2:30 PM and 5:30 PM.
Quality Programming
At Memphis Rox, climbing is just an access point to mentorship. In our afterschool program, youth receive assistance with homework and a nutritious meal at no cost every day. They’ll bond with other youth from diverse backgrounds, participate in activities like gardening and art making, and learn valuable life skills such as cooperation and trust through the sport of rock climbing. Our goal isn’t just to provide a safe environment, but to create an experience that bolsters their performance at school while encouraging personal growth.
Professional staff
Rox employs experienced professionals to oversee a curriculum that supports youth development. Our programming is rooted in three pillars: recreation, education and emotional well-being. All staff undergo extensive background checks and training to ensure youth receive quality mentorship that helps them to flourish.
Happy parents
