writes: “Over the past 30 years, I’ve witnessed firsthand how afterschool programs give kids the tools they need to succeed — academically, socially, and emotionally. They foster confidence, resilience, and a sense of belonging.
Afterschool isn’t just about keeping kids busy; it’s about giving them a foundation for life. It’s where futures are shaped, dreams are nurtured, and potential is unlocked.”
