A Citywide Ecosystem

By connecting schools, community organizations, and city partners, PASA turns Providence into a citywide campus — where free impactful after school and summer programs help 6-12 grade youth learn, grow, and thrive. This vibrant ecosystem helps close learning and enrichment gaps, ensuring every young person has the chance to explore their interests, build new skills, and step confidently into their future.

After the School Day Ends
PASA opens doors to hands-on experiences that spark creativity, confidence, and connection. Whether coding a robot, making a home run, or bringing a play to life, young people gain meaningful experiences that shape who they are.

Powering the Ecosystem
PASA mobilizes the people, programs, and support systems that support high quality out-of-school time learning experiences. We coordinate:

• Engaging, hands-on learning led by trusted community partners, educators, and artists;
• Safe, reliable transportation to and from programs, including field-based learning sites, and home again;
• Ongoing training and coaching for youth-serving professionals; and,
• A shared standard of program quality to ensure every experience helps youth grow.
