The Cave

The Cave is an after-school drop-in center in Highland Park for children in 6^th-8^th grades. The Cave provides a space for students to spend time with their friends after school in a safe and supervised environment, work on homework, play games, and participate in creative activities.

The Cave is free of charge and is open from 3-5pm, Monday–Friday, excluding the days that Highland Park Middle School is closed. On early dismissal days, The Cave will still open at 3pm, not earlier.

The Cave is located at 19 South 2^nd Avenue, inside the lower level of the Reformed Church of Highland Park. The Cave is a secular program run by Who is My Neighbor?, in which the church is solely the provider of space for the program to run. We are grateful to the Reformed Church for its generosity in providing community space for youth in Highland Park.

The Cave is supervised by WIMNI Director Lara Arp and run by Cave Director Liezl Bosch and Interns from Rutgers University School of Social Work.
