Dear Afterschool Supporter,
The Afterschool Alliance and MetLife Foundation are partnering to develop and disseminate a series of Issue Briefs that address topics related to middle school youth and afterschool programs. Nominate a program by April 23, 2010 for a chance to receive a MetLife Afterschool Innovator Award and be highlighted in one of our Issue Briefs.
Awardees will be recognized in the related Issue Brief and in the final compendium. Awards will be given out by the Afterschool Alliance in conjunction with the 2010 Lights On Afterschool and each recipient will receive an award of $5,000 to be used to continue or improve upon the highlighted program.
We need your help in finding programs that are:
Providing multiple benefits to middle school students:
· Nominate an exemplary middle school program that is providing benefits to middle school students, including helping them succeed academically in middle school, providing opportunities for service and preparing them for success in high school.
Promoting health and wellness for pre-teens and teens:
· Nominate an innovative afterschool program that provides a place for middle school youth to be physically active, while teaching them to make positive choices for themselves.
Preparing middle school youth for college and careers:
· Nominate an afterschool program that better prepares middle school youth for high school, college and careers, while keeping them on track and engaged in middle school.
Merging middle school programs and STEM learning:
· Nominate a middle school afterschool program that incorporates/features STEM activities, giving students time to develop an interest in science, inspiring them to learn STEM skills and even explore STEM careers.
Your knowledge of the field is critical in helping us identify these potentially lesser known, yet highly effective, programs and the individuals running them. Take a moment to make the nomination yourself or to point candidates in our direction.
