Site Management Agencies
A site management agency is an organization that partners with a Providence middle school to oversee school-level functions of the AfterZone. This allows PASA to scale back involvement in the day-to-day management of the AfterZones and focus on its role as an intermediary. To support AfterZone operations, these site management agencies receive considerable funding through 21st Century Community Learning Center grants from the Rhode Island Department of Education and other resources gathered by PASA.
Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence – Roger Williams Middle School
For over 140 years, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Providence has provided the youth of Providence with an invaluable service: safe, fun and reliable activities that prepare youth from diverse backgrounds with the skills they need to succeed in today’s world. As our newest site management agency, their years of dedicated to service to youth is most welcomed by PASA.
John Hope Settlement House – Samuel Bridgham Middle School
The John Hope Settlement House has been serving the Providence community for almost a century. Their key values of care and development of children and youth, family support and capacity building to help people fulfill their personal potential, serve as the perfect complement to PASA’s own mission.
Providence Housing Authority – Oliver Hazard Perry Middle School
The Providence Housing Authority was created in 1939 to provide safe, affordable housing to the Providence Community, addressing the economic and social needs of residents. Today, the PHA’s services extend beyond housing, as they are involved in a number of services to improve the social needs of residents.
West End Community Center – Gilbert Stuart Middle School
The West End Community Center offers a host of support services to the Providence community: young parents support services, a food pantry, ESL, counseling, enhanced GED/High School Equivalency and elder services. They adhere to quality standards and indicators that are steeped in the youth development practices developed by PASA, thus making our partnership a natural one.
