Toledo
After-School All-Stars (ASAS) Toledo has been fighting for families since day one. Toledo was once a thriving downtown area, until it suffered from urban sprawl, and left behind families with fewer opportunities for employment and resources. Families who lived locally were forced to search for employment elsewhere, which made it more difficult for parents to be home at an appropriate time to also pick up their children from school. The Toledo Public Schools Superintendent recognized the tremendous opportunity gap students in the downtown area faced and decided to partner with After-School All-Stars to provide comprehensive afterschool programs that would engage and support students’ academic and social-emotional needs. ASAS Toledo is primarily focused on keeping children safe and furthering their opportunities in life.
