We had a lot of great moments during the Board of Directors' meeting this morning - but our long-time teammate Nick sharing a candid response took the cake.
There is a saying that the kids who need the most love ask for it in the most unloving ways. At AYS, our staff care for students through their kindergarten tantrums, their second grade sass, and their fifth grade frustration. We care about their middle school meltdowns - and remember every milestone each one accomplishes long after they graduate 💜

I LOVE stories like this! Adults may impact kids we work with but the kids ALWAYS impact us as adults!
It's #YouthVoiceWeek thanks to our friends at Afterschool Alliance! Today's theme is ensuring access to afterschool programs for all students. At AYS, we prioritize that in collaborations and conversations at the statehouse, but we also elevate our students to share in quarterly surveys and candid camera moments.
We would pass the mic - but our AYS kids are pretty good at making sure we hear them 😊 💗🎤

Without AYS, I would not have the peace of mind that it provides for a working parent. The convenience of being at the school is irreplaceable.

AYS is a safe, reliable, and happy place for my child to be after school. The staff gives my child the attention and care that I don’t think he would get at another after-school program.

AYS’ dedication to the children was particularly highlighted during the pandemic. The staff worked tirelessly to create a fun atmosphere for the children by using creative and safe solutions to encourage critical peer interactions that were difficult to maintain throughout the pandemic.

My child completes her homework at AYS, which makes evenings easier. I feel very comfortable leaving my child with AYS staff. They do a great job!

It is helpful knowing that my child is in a safe and secure environment where she is educationally encouraged and challenged through many programs in the planned curriculum.
