SUMMARY:Saving Summer Jobs: How Can Summer Youth Employment Programs Improve Youth Outcomes during COVID-19?
DESCRIPTION:Last summer\, Boston invested an additional $4.1 million in the city’s summer jobs program to develop four new alternative tracks to not only ensure youth would be engaged during the summer but would also have the potential to develop their skills while earning the wages that their families depend on. Join American Youth Policy Forum in an interactive webinar to learn how city and state governments facing both steep budget shortfalls and large logistical hurdles can learn from the Boston experience and mount effective summer job programs this year. Participants will also hear directly from youth who will share their insight about the impact of participation in Boston’s summer youth employment program.

SUMMARY:American Rescue Plan: How to Access Funds for Afterschool & Summer
DESCRIPTION:Education funding provided by the American Rescue Plan presents a tremendous opportunity to offer young people the quality afterschool and summer programs that are so desperately needed. But\, with this tremendous opportunity also comes responsibility. Each of us in the afterschool field has a role to play to help ensure that funding is thoughtfully used to expand the availability of high-quality afterschool and summer programs\, address barriers to participation\, and fill in gaps in equity and access. \nThis “must join” session will provide an overview of the funding opportunity and provide tools that local communities can use to help ensure that they realize the potential of the American Rescue Plan funding to bring more afterschool and summer opportunities to life – and help all children re-engage\, re-connect\, and recover. \nLook out for continuing webinars on the American Rescue Plan (ARP) and the opportunities and implications for afterschool and summer learning programs.

SUMMARY:Addressing Equity Through Social and Emotional Learning
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, April 7 from 3:00 – 3:45 PM  \nSocial and emotional learning (SEL) is the process through which children and adults develop\, learn and apply the knowledge\, skills\, and attitudes that help them understand and manage their emotions\, achieve goals\, feel empathy for others\, establish supportive relationships\, and make responsible decisions.

SUMMARY:Re-Engaging Students During COVID-19 
DESCRIPTION:Over the past year\, the pandemic has significantly disrupted learning and family life. Challenges brought about by COVID-19—including increased mobility\, family economic hardship\, and drastic changes to learning environments—have caused more young people than usual to leave or disengage from school. As a result\, many educators and youth-supporting practitioners are thinking about attendance and engagement differently and are trying to shift and adapt their strategies based on what students need at this unique moment in time. One critical strategy right now is re-engagement: identifying young people who have left school or have not been engaged due to the pandemic and supporting them to re-enroll or re-engage in courses so that they can graduate with a high school diploma. \nJoin America’s Promise\, National League of Cities\, and Attendance Works on March 25 from 3:00-4:30 PM ET in a conversation with young people and community leaders from around the country to explore promising strategies for re-engaging students who have left school during COVID-19. \nIn this conversation\, panelists will discuss: \n\nthe scale of the issue\, including tracking\, measuring\, and understanding absenteeism and engagement data during this complex time;\nnew practices for what re-engagement has looked like in specific communities; and\nideas for prioritizing re-engagement in this and the next school year.\n\nPanelists include staff and youth representatives from: \n\nAttendance Works\nCity of Orlando – Parramore Kidz Zone and partner schools in Orlando\, FL\nColorado Youth for a Change and partner schools in Denver\, CO\nNational League of Cities – Institute for Youth\, Education\, and Families\n\n

SUMMARY:Data Use in Out-of-School Time\, Part III: Free and Low-Cost Resources for Evaluation and Continuous Quality Improvement in Afterschool
DESCRIPTION:Professionals and practitioners in afterschool and summer programs see evidence that their work benefits young people every day\, but may struggle to quantify and effectively tell the stories\, especially when working with a limited budget. \nFortunately\, there are many terrific free and low-cost resources that afterschool and summer programs can use to refine their vision for evaluation\, collect relevant\, meaningful information\, and put that information into action. In this session\, panelists will share their go-to resources for evaluation and continuous program improvement in afterschool and summer and offer insight about how to make the most of what’s available. \nThis session is intended as an intermediate-level overview of available resources for evaluation and learning. Program leaders and supervisors\, and those with a formal role for data collection and reporting\, are most likely to benefit from attending. \n  \nPresenters \n\nRegino Chavez\, Director of Evaluation\, LA’s BEST\nChristy Gallese\, Director\, Expanded Learning Opportunities\nJennifer Griffin-Wiesner\, Strategy Manager\, Ignite Afterschool\nCorey Newhouse\, Founder and Principal\, Public Profit\nJocelyn Wiedow\, Network and Quality Coordinator\, Sprockets\nNikki Yamashiro\, Vice President of Research\, Afterschool Alliance (moderator)

SUMMARY:Lessons from the Pandemic: Student and Practitioner Perspectives on Mutually-Supportive Relationships
DESCRIPTION:Research validates what students and educators have long known: learning happens through relationships. In a year where relationships between students and practitioners—teachers\, AmeriCorps members serving in schools\, out-of-school providers— have been interrupted and reimagined due to COVID-19\, what can be learned from young people and adults about the ways they have mutually supported each other over the past year? What practices and policies can we draw from their experiences thus far that might be helpful for others during and after the pandemic? Join America’s Promise Alliance and City Year for a conversation with students and some of the practitioners who are supporting them as they discuss the importance and benefits of relationships as well as lessons learned from this school year on building strong relationships in challenging circumstances.

SUMMARY:Ten Big Bets: Transforming Education During the Pandemic and Beyond
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, March 10\, 1:00 p.m. (ET)/ 10:00 a.m. (PT)\nPresenter: Dr. Gil Noam \nThe global pandemic has thrown our schools and OST programs into disarray. Teachers\, parents\, and children alike face uncertainty\, while distance learning strains the human connections that make school meaningful. \nIn his new book\, Ten Big Bets: Transforming Education During the Pandemic and Beyond\, Dr. Gil Noam\, a Harvard psychologist\, researcher\, and educator\, shows that times of upheaval demand fundamental positive change. Rather than providing a technical manual or rigid prescriptions\, Noam introduces ten core ideas for teachers\, administrators\, OST providers\, and families to embrace both in the harrowing time of COVID-19 and in the years of reconstruction and transformation that will follow. Paying equal attention to the needs of children and the needs of educators\, he advocates for strong academic challenge rooted in productive relationships\, engaged learning\, and positive mental health. \nJoin us March 10 when Dr. Noam will discuss these core ideas of what’s important\, offering a clear path for all adults who dedicate themselves to children and youth so that each and every one learns and thrives. He will offer concrete\, evidence-based recommendations that can be implemented immediately and over time.

SUMMARY:Game Changers: Celebrating & Learning from Black Youth Leadership
DESCRIPTION:As we reflect on our country’s history and the progress Black people have led\, we see a strong legacy of youth leadership. Many of the major accomplishments in the fight for equality have been the result of youth activism\, youth-led policy change\, and the relentless action of new generations unsatisfied with the status quo. While the energy of youth leadership is valuable in its own right\, it can have even more impact when combined with support from adults who hold power. This Black History Month\, America’s Promise Alliance invites you to join a conversation with Black youth and adult leaders to explore how we can share power and work across generations to write the next chapter of progress for the United States.
