PASA director emphasizes importance of out-of-school programs

Tatiana Baena has been appointed as the new executive director of the Providence After School Alliance (PASA). The organization has evolved from solely expanding access to out-of-school programs to becoming more integrated into school systems and responsive to students' current needs, including support for older youth. Baena emphasized the importance of building trust-based partnerships that can withstand leadership changes and highlighted gaps in summer opportunities for older students, with a focus on reducing barriers like cost and transportation. She advocates viewing out-of-school programs as essential infrastructure for youth development and calls for increased investment and coordination to ensure equitable access for all young people.
