Have you met Aisha Young? Well, if not, you need to know that she is our Junior Photographer and many of the social media photos are taken by her. @aishaolivia24 was one of the first to join our fitness after-school program when we partnered with the Oak Cliff Boys & Girls Club five years ago. Today, Aisha is a FFL Ambassador and official Junior Photograper! • • Aisha attends South Oak Cliff High School and she is a member of the girl’s basketball team. From the very first time we placed a camera in her hands she came alive with super excitement to capture the essence of #FFL activities. Last year she took 1500+ photos for our first donor souvenir book from our DiscoverU21 Vision tour to New York City. Aisha has college plans for graphic design/photography and she has already started perfecting her skills! Keep up the good work Aisha! • #FFL #Dallas #DiscoverU21 #WeAreFFL #DallasNonprofit #DFW #DallasKids #fitness #Afterschool #AfterSchoolWorks #igdallas #dallastx #enrichment #vision #wholistic #wholistickids #family #health #GrowSouth #SEL #mindfulness #COVID19 #Coronavirus  #Leadership #Ambassador #Photographer #GraphicDesign https://www.instagram.com/p/B_np_E-HPxp/?igshid=lgmz1khos6nv

This article is probably going to make the rounds today. A “think” tank has apparently decided that the best way to support working families is to shift and extend the school day (cue: shock and awe). While they do acknowledge that this unrealistic in the way of school funding, they still push a narrative that we should still buck-up and do what’s right for the kiddos regardless of budgets.

My issue, is that they actually give lip-service to the best answer for this problem, but in just one sentence that is never addressed again:

“The cost could be made up on the back end, as studies show that enriched after-school programs help students succeed, likely making them higher earners when they reach working age.”

I’ll table the disgusting notion that economic prosperity is the only metric of educational programming (See America After 3pm for other great benefits of Afterschool Programs). Quality after school programming exists throughout the country through 21 Century Community Learning Centers, faith-based & community clubs, scholastic clubs and activities, and other programs (4H, YMCA, B&GC, etc). Businesses, non-profits, schools, and families step up in these communities to support their kiddos in out-of-school time, not just to get their grades up, but to provide meals, childcare, and enrichment opportunities.

After school programs work, and to ignore them and shift the burden to schools is not only taxing on school districts, but short-changes our youth valuable opportunities that schools cannot provide.

At the @afterschool4all Challenge Conference today in Washington, D.C. as a representative for the Missouri AfterSchool Network. I love being surrounded by educators, legislators, and leaders who care about the future of our country and world by caring for our children and their education. 💙 #MissMissouri #MissMo2015 #MissAmerica #MOAfterSchool #AfterSchoolWorks #LightsOnAfterSchool #ChildrenAretheFuture #CharacterEducation #DC @characterstartswithus @nmcyf
