Rhode Island: PASA-Providence After School Alliance-Learning has to continue outside of school, with music lessons, sports, academic support, and other activities. Unfortunately, students from under-served communities, who typically have the greatest need for additional enrichment, are least likely to get it. They also are less likely to know about the world around them — that they live a mile from the ocean, can visit their city’s museums, and are welcome to walk through a nearby college campus. PASA fills these critical gaps. Expanded learning teaches students about academics, collaboration, and problem-solving. Students not only learn how to do better in school, they find new ways to ignite their passions — and to engage in learning and life. www.mypasa.org
