About Our Chapter
GiveFor Chris, a student at Conwell Middle School in Northeast Philadelphia, the Chess Club became his place to explore, experience, and grow while also introducing him to Mr. W, ASAS Dean of Students. Like an understanding uncle or older brother, Mr. W serves a problem-solver that students can turn to in times of the ever-present uncertainty of middle school.

LEADERSHIP HIGHLIGHT
Kelly Woodland
Kelly Woodland comes to After-School All-Stars with a diverse and rich background in youth development; program design; community networks; and strategic planning. Kelly is a connector who enjoys building alliances and generating ideas that impact organizations and people in need.
Most recently Kelly was Assistant Vice President at Fairmount Ventures, a leading regional consulting firm serving nonprofit organizations and foundations. Previous to Fairmount, Kelly was a principal of his own consulting practice where he advised regional funders; developed a STEM model for 6th grade boys of color; counseled a New York based energy company in its effort to develop a social investment strategy; and advised a variety of youth development organizations in the region.
Kelly’s passion for connecting and creating impact was reflected in his co-founding of the Philadelphia African American Leadership Forum (PAALF). Kelly spearheaded PAALF’s first ever comprehensive research study of African American led nonprofit agencies in Philadelphia. He was also instrumental in shaping the recommendations that emerged from this groundbreaking study.
Kelly’s strong commitment to youth in Philadelphia was animated during 10 plus years as a program officer at the William Penn Foundation. The Foundation afforded Kelly a platform to catalyze the advancement of the regional youth development field. He leveraged foundation dollars to create the Out of School Time Resource Center and led a funders collaborative to bolster Philadelphia’s youth workforce development system. Kelly also created and managed a place based, community youth development initiative that used neighborhood networks to build a continuum of opportunities for children and youth. This place based model inspired replication in Detroit and Cleveland.
Kelly’s desire to serve youth was nurtured as a pre-college administrator for an enrichment program serving high school students in Philadelphia and Camden. His program design acumen was refined at the Franklin Institute Science Museum where he created the Partnerships for Achieving Careers in Technology and Science (PACTS), the first STEM program targeted to youth of color at the museum.
Kelly, a proud native of Chester, Pennsylvania, believes strongly that access to developmental opportunities for youth should not be determined by one’s zip code. Kelly’s goal is to bring After School All Stars to schools and communities that need it most. He is a graduate of Temple University where he earned a degree in journalism.
