Every child deserves someone who believes in them. 💙

For our Founder, Shane Gianino, that belief is personal.

Raised by his grandparents, having never met his father, and growing up low income, Shane understands how much encouragement and positive role models can mean to a child.

In our newest and latest blog, he shares why afterschool programs matter—and why a caring adult who listens, follows up, and keeps showing up can make a lasting difference.

Through Project Transformation, we help youth find support, build confidence, and see possibilities for their future.

All In Michigan: Afterschool for Every Child 🌟

Every young person deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and thrive—during the school day and beyond.

Afterschool and summer learning programs give youth opportunities to discover new interests, build confidence, strengthen academic skills, and connect with caring mentors.

At Neway Works, we see the power of these opportunities through our after-school youth enrichment program, Project Transformation.

Let’s work together to make them accessible to every child!

🎥 Watch this brief video about the impact of afterschool and summer programs in Michigan—and share it to help spread the word:
