Uncertain Times: Funding Insecurity Puts Afterschool Programs
at Risk, a recent survey of afterschool
programs by the Afterschool Alliance, finds that afterschool programs
are serving a high need population, serving more children than expected,
and struggling to maintain their funding. Nearly all respondents
say that more children in their communities could benefit from afterschool
programs, if they were available. Fewer than half of afterschool
programs say their funding is fully secure for the next two years
and just one in five has secure funding for three to five years.

The Bringing
Yourself to Work Training by Michelle Seligson, the founder of NIOST,
and Patricia Stahl places unprecedented emphasis on the importance of self
awareness, emotional intelligence, relationship building and group process
skills and their importance to afterschool Programs. Participants engage
in experimental learning, mini lecturettes and practicing of applied concepts
in order to come away with strategies for implementing BYTW in their afterschool
program.
