College Prep in Afterschool

Young people from low-income communities disproportionately lack access to the critical supports and services that help prepare them for college admission and success. Afterschool has a crucial role to play in ensuring that youth graduate from high school prepared not only for admission into but for success in and graduation from college.

Since 2007, PASE has made strengthening the college preparatory services available in New York City’s afterschool programs a top programmatic priority. PASE supports agencies that specifically gear their programs toward college preparation as well as those that integrate college preparation activities into programs whose focus lies elsewhere.

Our work currently includes:

• Offering centralized trainings focused on key elements of effective college prep programs


• Providing 15 NYC afterschool sites customized technical assistance via expert consultants to support them in further developing the capacity of an aspect of their college prep programming


• Convening an advisory whose role is to advise PASE, its network of agencies, and the afterschool field as a whole on issues related to building the capacity of afterschool programs to set their youth on track for college admission and success
