Why Become a Program Provider?
Program providers inspire youth playing an integral role in the delivery of Providence’s after school system. Providers and instructors come from throughout the Providence community and represent a wide array of talent and expertise in STEM, visual and performing arts, athletics and wellness, and skills-based programs. Together, providers form a robust network of committed and caring adults who positively impact the lives of city youth every day. As a part of the PASA network, program providers have access to year-round professional development and training opportunities. (Link to calendar)
