About PASE Who We Are The Partnership for After School Education (PASE) is a child-focused organization that promotes and supports quality afterschool programs, particularly those serving young people from underserved communities. Every day in New York City, more than 500,000 young people in low-income communities are provided safe and enriching environments in afterschool programs run by community-based agencies. PASE helps build stronger afterschool programs, develop successful young people and create more resilient communities by connecting the more than 1,400 agencies that run those programs. Enabling a critical exchange of resources and ideas among agencies, educators and other partners, PASE is New York City’s premier provider of professional development for afterschool staff and youth-serving agency leaders. In its programs and initiatives, PASE promotes best practices in afterschool programs and functions as a strong voice for youth. What We Believe About After School Education PASE recognizes the crucial role that afterschool programs play in fostering young people’s intellectual, emotional, physical and spiritual growth. We believe that academic skills should be integrated into all aspects of an afterschool program; that parents, youth and community members need to have input into program development; and that programs should make a commitment to be inclusive, foster cultural diversity, and build community.
