Imagine a city where youth and families feel connected where youth can find tons of engaging things to do after-school.

Imagine a City where everyone is working together to provide more opportunities to have fun, safe and challenging programs for and about youth.

Imagine an AfterZone.


What is an AfterZone?

THINK - Easy access
THINK - Connected communities and providers working together for young people
THINK - More access, more opportunities, more resources, more youth
THINK - More family and community involvement and leadership
THINK - At least three days a week youth will fill an afternoon

WITH FUN, ENGAGING, SAFE, QUALITY PROGRAMS

Where are AfterZones?

After studying where the most youth and families lived and figuring out where the most facilities (i.e., schools, gyms, fields, classrooms, community rooms, kitchens, etc.) were concentrated, PASA and its partners identified the following five areas in Providence for AfterZone development:

• Lower South Side - Elmwood /Lower South Providence / Reservoir / South Elmwood / Washington Park
• North End - Charles / Wanskuck
• Olneyville - Federal Hill / Hartford / Manton / Mount Pleasant / Olneyville / Silver Lake
• East Side  - Hope / Mount Hope / Fox Point 
• Upper South Side / West End - Upper South Providence / West End
