September 12, 2023

Pelham, ON – The Town of Pelham continues expanding opportunities for area youth by introducing a new after-school coding program at the Meridian Community Centre. 

"The goal of this new program addition is to provide opportunities for Pelham youth to gain experiences that will build a coding foundation," said the Town of Pelham Active Living Programmer Brittany MacLeod. "Partnering with Kidz Who Can was an excellent way to introduce this program and to meet residents' requests for additional youth activities in Pelham."

The 6-week series of classes will take place in partnership with Kidz Who Can, and youth aged 6 to 12 can grow their coding skills while engaging in fun exercises and games. No previous coding experience is needed, and all materials are provided. The after-school coding sessions will be offered for two age groups with up to 16 participants per class. The Tuesday evening sessions are an hour long, and a $108 registration fee applies. Registration is now open.  

Participants can find more information about the program and how to register by visiting www.pelham.ca/youthcoding
