Afterschool Transforms. PASE Transforms Afterschool. Annual Report July 2013 - June 2014
Letter from PASE’s Board President and Executive Director Dear Friends of PASE, For over two decades the Partnership for After School Education (PASE) has played a crucial role in the growth and development of the afterschool field. Afterschool programs and their staff offer the support that young people need to ensure success in school and in life – and PASE’s work strengthens these programs so that all children have the resources and opportunities to thrive. At PASE we never forget that raising, nurturing, and supporting children happens one child at a time. Every child is unique, in both abilities and challenges, and as they grow and develop they need different opportunities and supports to ensure that they can be successful. We need adults willing to step up to support these young people – and the great news is that we have them. In New York City we have extraordinary individuals who work tirelessly to ensure every child receives the attention they deserve. During PASE’s 2013-2014 program year, over 6,000 caring adults in children’s lives came through our doors. Over the course of 22 years we have provided hundreds of trainings for tens of thousands of afterschool practitioners in our community of over 1,600 afterschool programs who annually serve over 500,000 youth; we have helped to influence the lives of over 1,000,000 youth by better preparing the adults in their lives to provide quality afterschool programming. Youth need afterschool and afterschool needs you. Thank you for being a part of PASE’s crucial work to ensure that New York City’s kids and teens receive the highquality programming and support they need and deserve. Sincerely, Fern Khan, President, Board of Directors

STEM
Taking Root: Strengthening STEM in Afterschool
In 2013 PASE launched “Strengthening STEM” – a 3-year program designed to set a foundation to expand the capacity of afterschool programs to provide science, technology, engineering, and math. Through Strengthening STEM, PASE aims to redefine what STEM looks like during out-of-school time and help make it an integral part of high-quality afterschool. In 2013-2014, PASE: trained 31 Master Trainers who provided STEM in afterschool to 1,921 young people; hosted a STEM forum for 104 professionals on building STEM capacity in afterschool; held 5 STEM workshops at our PASE@PACE Conference for 61 practitioners; presented our Strengthening STEM program at the National Afterschool Association’s Annual Convention, “NYC14 Experience Innovation”; and expanded the STEM resources available on our website at www.pasesetter.org. Find out more about PASE’s Strengthening STEM initiative here. PASE’s Strengthening STEM program is supported by The Pinkerton Foundation. July 2013-June 2014
College Prep & Success
College Prep & Success in Afterschool
College Prep & Success in Afterschool strengthens the capacity of organizations to provide college prep services to their youth, increasing the number of NYC’s kids who are able to gain access to, thrive in, and graduate from college. As part of this program PASE: provided 290 hours of technical assistance to 22 agencies to support their college prep services; held 15 professional development workshops for 388 afterschool professionals on key areas of college prep such as: Early Awareness; Academic Preparedness; College Persistence; and trainings focused on PASE’s College Prep Programming Assessment Tool (CPPAT); facilitated “Connecting CBOs and Higher Ed: A Forum & College Fair”, an innovative event which connected 152 afterschool professionals with 33 colleges and universities to learn how to most effectively work together to support first-generation, low income, and/or historically underrepresented young people; developed the College Prep Programming Assessment Tool and presented it at the National Afterschool Association’s Annual Convention, “NYC14 Experience Innovation”; and gathered and disseminated resources and best practices to the 1,600 youth-serving agencies in our community via our website www.pasesetter.org.

Summer Learning
Summer Teaching Fellows
In the summer of 2013, PASE recruited, trained, supervised, and paid stipends to 16 college students who provided academic support and enrichment to summer programs in underserved neighborhoods throughout New York City through our Summer Teaching Fellows program. Teaching Fellows play a vital role in assisting summer agencies in: helping children combat summer learning loss while seeing learning as fun; infusing reading and STEM into daily activities; creating mentoring programs; researching and planning educational field trips; introducing kids to a current college student eager to spread their passion for learning; and adding to young peoples’ desire to excel in school, all while providing future educators with positive and enriching leadership experiences. In 2013-2014, PASE’s 16 Teaching Fellows worked with a total of 966 young people in summer programs. Find out more about our Teaching Fellows program here. PASE’s Summer Teaching Fellows program is supported by general operating support. July 2013-June 2014
