We’re back, and it feels this good. 🌎
This last week, our students returned to afterschool programs at Ballou HS, Bell Multicultural HS, and McKinley Tech HS, plus our citywide Global Leaders program on Fridays at Southwest Library.

And today, on International Day of Peace, it feels fitting: peacebuilding and understanding the world around us are at the heart of everything we do.

Here’s a first glance at some moments from our first week, and a video of what the year has in store: cultural exploration trips, team-building moments, real conversations about the world around us, and students learning to use their voice for action.

This is more than an afterschool program. It’s where global citizens are made, one experience at a time.
Join us for Citywide Fridays, 4:00-5:30 PM at Southwest Library, near the Waterfront Metro.

Back-to-School with Learn24 | Issue 03 📚

Back-to-school routines don’t stop when the school day ends. For Issue 03 of our Back-to-School with Learn24 series, we’re helping families think through what comes next, from knowing the afterschool plan to checking in with the youth about their day.

A few simple questions can help families stay connected, spot where support may be needed, and make the transition into a new routine a little smoother. 💚

Swipe through for a few reminders to keep in mind as the school year gets underway. ➡️
