Afterschool Webinar:

About this webinar:

Youth involvement through input, choice and feedback on afterschool programming is critical. It helps to ensure that programming remains relevant and engaging, helps nurture leadership skills, and offers a platform for youth to assert their voice in a meaningful way. In the second of our series of advocacy-focused webinars sponsored by the Bowne Foundation, we’ve invited a panelist of afterschool leaders to share how they prepare students to be effective program advocates through hands-on training and other youth initiatives.

Guest Speakers:

• Alberto Cruz; Senior Director of Youth and Family, YMCA of Greater New York
• Patrick Pinchinat; Beacon Director, Queens Community House
• Marlena Starace; Afterschool Leadership Coordinator, Queens Community House
• Alexis Steines; Field Outreach Manager, Afterschool Alliance
