Hear shout-outs from the field!

Happy Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week!

VPOST is celebrating Afterschool Professionals Appreciation Week on April 25-29, 2022, to recognize, appreciate, and advocate for those who work with young people during out-of-school hours. All this week, we are featuring shoutouts from the field to lift up people that are the #heartofafterschool. We encourage you to join in the celebration using the tag #heartofafterschool on social media!

"Christina is the absolute most caring person and teacher. She always goes above and beyond for all the kids. You can tell she truly loves and cares about each of the kids individually and also has a passion for teaching. She always gives above 100% and makes Stem Club a second home for everyone. My son really loves Stem Club and looks forward to it every week now, he has especially loved learning about Mars, the science of gardening, and the science of robotics with Ms. Christina (and Mr. Sidney too) in the FXBG Stem Club. Ms. Christina Clark is the best teacher! Thank you, Ms. C!"

"Thank you, Amir, for being a superstar for NextUp! Your dedication to the youth that participates in NextUp is admirable. As Program Manager, you are on the frontline, ready to provide all the tools necessary to keep students engaged in afterschool programs! You are always there for anything providers needs and committed to helping youth grow and succeed every day."

"I appreciate her because she has put her heart into this program. She is a retired teacher and continues to work for Alternatives, Inc with the afterschool program. She recruited the largest number of students in her program and she reaches out to other Alternative afterschool programs to help make our jobs easier. She works well with the students, staff, and administration. She is an asset to the Alternatives organization."

"Ms. Wanda has hours to accommodate the working family. She ensures that children are safely transported to and from school. She provides a safe learning environment with qualified staff to assist children with homework and other activities."

"Mrs. Robyn is a wonderful daycare teacher and continually displays compassion, kindness, fun and nurturing for all children she comes in contact with. She is helpful and goes above beyond in any situation, regardless of difficulty or whether it's in her scope of responsibility. She is a positive light and blesses all families that get to have her teach their children."
