Afterschool
Fall Session 2026
Week of Sept 14 – Week of Nov 13
Welcome to the EBCL Fall 2026 afterschool program guide. Running from mid-September to mid-November, our weekly, student-centered classes are designed to provide young makers with a supportive environment for hands-on exploration. Our intentional focus on small class sizes ensures that each student receives dedicated guidance as they dive into new creative challenges.
Throughout the semester, our students will develop practical, real-world skills across a variety of disciplines, ranging from traditional craftsmanship like carpentry and sewing to digital storytelling in creative technology and queer comic design. Every program is built around our organization’s core ethos: fostering absolute inclusivity, encouraging creative self-expression, and building deep community connections through artistic discovery.
Registration begins Tuesday, 7/28/26 at 12:00 PM

Flexible ways to Fund the Fun!
Flexible Payment Plans
Program prices are listed in full, but you don't have to pay all at once. Choose to pay in full, or split the cost into equal payments over 2 or 3 months — whatever works best for your family's budget.
Financial Aid
Need a little help covering the cost? At checkout, families can apply a one-time withdrawal from our Pay It Forward Fund (up to $125 off classes or $200 off camps). Any remaining balance can still be split into 1, 2, or 3 payments. (And if you're able, we welcome Pay It Forward donations at checkout to help other families access this same support.)
Need-Based Scholarships
If the Pay It Forward discount isn't enough, you can apply for a larger scholarship through our simple online form. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis (please allow 7 business days), and must be submitted by the deadline. Don't worry about spots filling up — we always reserve space for scholarship students.
ACCESSIBILITY & INCLUSION
We’re committed to making all programs at East Bay Creative Lab accessible and inclusive. Our spaces are wheelchair-friendly, and we welcome learners of all abilities and learning styles. If you or your child need accommodations, please let us know—we’re happy to help! Read our Accessibility Statement here.
You can indicate any accommodation needs or concerns when registering your child under the “Special Instructions about my child” section. You can also reach out directly at contact@eastbaycreativelab.com
REFUND POLICY
All purchases include a 10% non-refundable deposit to cover administrative costs.
From 7/28 – 8/21, you will receive a 90% refund.
From 8/22 – 9/11, you will receive a 40% refund.
After 9/12/2026, we are not able to offer any refunds.
Please note: EBCL enrollment is non-transferable. That said, we do understand that sometimes your family schedule changes! We offer a one-time enrollment transfer for your child to another week of class that has spaces available free of charge.
Unfortunately, because spots are limited, no credit is given for partial attendance. No portion of the tuition will be refunded if the child is absent, withdrawn, or otherwise fails to complete the activity.
Pay It Forward, Power a Dream
When you add a Pay It Forward donation at checkout, you're not just supporting your own student, you're helping cover tuition for a child in our community who couldn't otherwise afford it.
More than 70% of our students receive financial assistance, and none of that happens without generosity like yours. If you're able, consider paying it forward today.
