Hamden’s March Madness is designed to bring together a diverse audience from the town of Hamden to share in the positive fellowship of our youth. Youth participating in the event are members of the Youth Center’s after-school program, which is currently located at the Board of Education Building. The after-school program offers year round quality programming including basketball, field trips, leadership activities, arts, tutoring, and positive peer relations.
