Arizona’s out-of-school time programs need state level support now
Thank you to those who have supported our efforts to establish state funding for Arizona’s out-of-school time programs. Your commitment to the advancement of quality development for school-aged youth is critical, now more than ever. For those who have not had the chance to show your support, we invite you to act now.
With the latest findings from America After 3PM, we know that Arizona’s youth have critical, unmet needs largely due to a significant lack of accessible, quality out-of-school time opportunities. We need your voice to be a part of our call to Arizona’s legislature that they specifically designate state-level funding to school-aged out-of-school time programs.
Arizona Center for Afterschool Excellence (AzCASE) — How do you maintain students’ attention online?
Youth have been interacting online with each other for quite some time. So how do we as educators connect with them while modeling healthy behaviors? Building connections through the digital space can be challenging, this 1-hour AzCASE virtual workshop will teach you strategies to get, and maintain students’ attention online. Virtual learning and youth programs can take place when we use the digital space creatively and with the holistic child in mind.
