Learning Happens Anytime, Anywhere!

Building on the success of the AfterZone and a belief that learning happens anytime, anywhere, PASA and community partners including the Providence Public School District, created an after-school system for high school youth called the Hub. The Hub builds upon the AfterZone by ensuring that the benefits of a coordinated system of enriching after-school expanded learning opportunities don't end when middle school students leave 8th grade.The Hub works with Providence public high schools to provide high school students across the city with high-quality expanded learning opportunities (ELO) that not only garner them credit towards graduation, but provide flexible hands-on learning activities grounded in relevant, real world skills and professional experience.

The Hub's ELO community program partners provide students with off-campus learning experiences like video game development, Android App design and development, debate, environmental science, and more. Students post weekly project updates via blogs and videos on the Hub's specially-developed online site. The weekly posts build on the students' portfolios in preparation for final presentations made to teachers, community and business leaders, parents, and other learning professionals. Importantly, Providence high school youth are having a blast getting ready for 21st Century careers!
