S 4 EP 7: Teen Talk Series: Why We Need You feat. Youth Ambassadors from Afterschool Alliance

Are you ready to get inspired? Prepare to unravel the profound impact of after-school programs on young lives as we engage with two remarkable youth ambassadors, Avery and Jamora, from the After School Alliance, and their equally inspiring program manager, Leah. This episode takes you on a heartfelt journey, revealing the transformative influence these out-of-school time programs have on the academic and professional growth of youth. You'll gain insights from their perspective on how afterschool programs allow youth to be their authentic selves and express themselves freely.

As we navigate through this conversation, we spotlight the crucial role of 'youth voice' in shaping after-school programming. How do we ensure their opinions are heard and respected? How can active listening foster stronger relationships and a more dynamic program experience? Together, we explore these questions, while understanding the advantages of tailoring after-school programs to the desires of the youth and even involving them in peer teaching.
