Providence After School Alliance

Inspired by the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation’s grant to PASA and the Providence Public Schools to pilot their New Day for Learning initiative, the lead team is helping PASA and the district develop and implement a strategy for expanded learning for Providence students.

To help mobilize the resources of the broader community, the expanded learning team is composed of representatives from the private, education, non-profit, and governmental sectors who are working together to broaden the opportunities for student success.
