How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Antiracism as Foundational to Equity in Youth Programmingmethodology: antiracism_as_foundational_approachBy integrating antiracism as a core principle in both programming and organizational practice, we advance equity in afterschool services, because addressing structural racism is necessary to create truly inclusive, effective supports for youth of color living in poverty.
- Field-Building Through Capacity Developmentmethodology: field-buildingBy strengthening the capacity of afterschool staff, organizations, and the broader field through professional development and knowledge sharing, we increase access to high-quality programs for low-income youth, because systemic improvement in workforce skills and organizational effectiveness leads to better youth outcomes at scale.
- Relationship-Based Youth Developmentmethodology: relationship-based_youth_developmentBy providing safe, nurturing out-of-school-time environments where youth can explore passions and build relationships with caring adults, we improve engagement and developmental outcomes, because consistent, supportive adult-youth relationships are foundational to healthy youth development—especially for those affected by poverty.
