Our attention to student retention goes beyond student engagement—we are committed to checking up on our students whenever they stop attending after-school programs. Additionally, we have high attendance competitions to honor students who consistently show up to their program activities. As a result, average daily attendance has increased by 47% in the last year. In other efforts to increase engagement with students and overall growth, ASAS Cleveland applied and received a 21st Century grant, which will allow students’ afterschool time to be extended by half an hour and allow for the hiring of more college interns that can provide additional support and mentorship to students.

The ASAS Columbus team was committed to ensuring the safety and engagement of all students and found hockey to be the answer to both concerns. After receiving a grant from the Columbus Blue Jacket Foundation, the charitable organization within the NHL team, ASAS Columbus launched Camp Hockey Heroes—a week-long youth leadership and mentoring program based on the successful curriculum of ASAS National’s Camp Hoop Heroes. The program involves learning the sport of hockey alongside mentors that offer advice about school, careers and self-improvement. In the program’s first year, 20 students from Champion Middle School participated. Throughout the week, they learned about careers both on and off the ice and enjoyed a behind-the-scenes tour of the Fox Sports Ohio production truck before attending a hockey game. Looking ahead, ASAS Columbus plans on introducing Camp Hockey Heroes to two more schools—a program proven to engage students craving for something fun to do afterschool.

At least three of our program mentors are alumni that have returned to ASAS Hawaii to give back to their community, building relationships and trust with students along the way. Developing a network of mentors that understand what it means to be from the Pahoa Islands and what it means to be a middle schooler is an integral part of the way we hire our staff. There is no shortage of community and heart here, and through diligence, empathy, and encouragement, the youth of Pahoa have supportive relationships with mentors. 1,820 STUDENTS 10 SCHOOLS 62% QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM PARTNERS EXPENSES 83% Program 14% Administration 3% Fundraising DEMOGRAPHICREVENUE 84% Asian American/Pacific Islander72% Government 1% Black/African American2% Other 9% Other19% Foundation 5% White6% Corporate 1% Native American/Alaskan Native1% Individual LEADERSHIP PAULA FITZELL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DAWN DUNBAR BOARD CHAIRLAS VEGAS OUR CHAPTERS After-School All-Stars (ASAS) Las Vegas focuses on exposing students to off campus activities that better connects them to the great outdoors, mentors, and overall career opportunities. Since 2007, ASAS Las Vegas has provided Lifetime Adventures classes to connect underserved students to environments outside their neighborhoods and to promote youth outdoor learning and wilderness travel. The program uses outdoor activities as a tool to develop positive social skills that transfer directly to each student’s day-to-day life. Youth involved in Lifetime Adventures are educated about responsibility, teamwork, trust, personal growth, community service learning and stewardship for the environment. Students plan and participate in field trips to nearby places such as Mt. Charleston and Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area. We choose to highlight outdoor learning because we know the impact it has on our students’ grades, stress levels, motivation, and overall behavior. We want our students to experience the outdoor world for themselves and not just read about it in textbooks. 5,670 STUDENTS 16 SCHOOLS 96% QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM PARTNERS LEADERSHIP JODI MANZELLA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR JENNA MORTON BOARD CHAIR EXPENSES 76% Program 14% Fundraising 10% Administration REVENUE 70% Foundation 5% Corporate 10% Government 10% Event 5% Individual DEMOGRAPHIC 51% Hispanic/Latinx 10% White 20% Black/African American 4% Asian American/Pacific Islander 14% Other 1% Native American/Alaskan NativeAfter-School All-Stars (ASAS) Los Angeles strives to empower students through mentorship. We realize the importance of a strong, supportive community in our students’ lives. One of the stories that has deeply impacted us is that of Reshanda Gray. She grew up in a one-bedroom apartment, where her parents battled with drug and alcohol abuse. She vividly remembers the day she was separated from her mother. “I was kicking and screaming,” says Reshanda. “For us to be driving away in the back of a police car and have your mom chasing the car down. No kid should have to go through that…” Soon after, Reshanda found herself in our ASAS program, which quickly became her safe place. Through our mentorship program, she found her life-long mentor, Tyrone Dinnen, who encouraged her to try basketball, giving her life new direction and focus. Joining a team and becoming more active helped build her confidence and natural talents, ultimately leading to a full scholarship at UC Berkeley and her current career as a professional athlete. Reshanda is now a WNBA player for the New York Liberty.

The ASAS team is set on empowering the next generation of leaders. “At ASAS NJ, we pour a lot of love into our students,” says ASAS New Jersey Executive Director, Nicole Harris. “Our staff understand what our students need to learn, grow, and develop the skills to be strong, successful leaders. After all, all ASAS NJ staff grew up in local urban communities in and surrounding Newark. We see ourselves in our students and are deeply committed to keeping them safe and healthy, so they can succeed in life.” To ensure our students are successful, we have collaborated with our local partners to offer increased academic support for all grade levels. We built two brand-new Makerspaces for our 13th Avenue and Camden Street schools, entirely equipped with 3-D tech centers, hydroponic gardening stations, science labs, and photography and sound production studios. We are committed to see our students succeed in school and life. 485 STUDENTS 4 SCHOOLS 76% QUALIFY FOR FREE OR REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM PARTNERS EXPENSES LEADERSHIP NICOLE HARRIS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TIM HEPPLEWHITE BOARD CHAIR 84% Program 16% Administration DEMOGRAPHICREVENUE 75% Black/African American63% Government 21% Hispanic/Latinx28% Foundation 2% Other3% Other 2% White6% CorporateAfter-School All-Stars (ASAS) New York strives to create better engagement between home and school, allowing parents to be more thoroughly involved through open communication and understanding of the program activities provided. ASAS New York has partnered with MS 247 Dual Language Middle School (DLMS) for the past three years to break down this engagement barrier and offer bilingual opportunities to Spanish speaking families, specifically. We are committed to making all families feel included and not letting language barriers create any sort of isolation. We find it extremely valuable to have a bilingual staff that encourage diversity and build trust with parents who might not be engaged or included otherwise. We realize low-income families, in general, tend to find it more challenging to fully participate in their children’s education. Our hope is that all families would feel encouraged and empowered to become more involved. ASAS NY is set on empowering parents to engage in meaningful participation to further their children’s education and success. Most recently, we organized an outdoor culminating event as part of our environment program to boost parent involvement and we ended up having 20 parents come out to support their children. We want to continue to build relationships with parents, which will only further increase student attendance and student growth.
