There is an annual $20 registration fee per participant per account for these programs. The daily cost is $7 for before-school attendance and $10 for after-school.

Safekey provides youth enrichment programs outside of school hours at 63 elementary schools within the city of Las Vegas for grades K-5.

Safekey daily and weekly scheduled activities include physical fitness, STEAM programming (science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics), crafts, Reader's Theater, games, literacy programming, special events, homework time and a nutritional afternoon snack.

Safekey operates as a pre-paid program; participants must be pre-enrolled and paid for each specific date of attendance. The city of Las Vegas also offers the ReInvent After-School Program, which is a free, grant-funded enrichment program at seven selected Clark County School District elementary schools.

The Safekey and ReInvent programs use the school district calendar as a guide and operate on days that in-person instruction is in session. School begins Aug. 12, 2024. For questions about either of these programs, please contact the Safekey and ReInvent office at 702-229-KIDS (5437) or visit www.lasvegasnevada.gov/safekey or www.lasvegasnevada.gov/rap for more information.
