The Gwen T. Jackson School Safe Place provides after-school childcare and enrichment activities to K4 through fifth-grade students at Jackson.
Open from 2:15 to 6:00 p.m. on school days, the program provides structure and supervision by following a 1:15 staff: child ratio. The Safe Place supports Jackson student achievement and learning goals by offering enrichment activities that prepare youth for high school, college, and career success:
- Academic support
- Hands-on learning
- Leadership development
- Summer camp
The Gwen T. Jackson School Safe Place is led by three partners:

Costs
Milwaukee Public Schools Safe Places charge a nominal program fee, and most Safe Place programs accept Wisconsin Shares childcare subsidies. The inability to pay fees or to receive Wisconsin Shares authorization cannot be a barrier to participation for students.
