Big voices, real impact 💙

Our youth showed up at the State House on Wednesday to advocate for out-of-school time programs and support the Building Opportunity of Out of School Time (BOOST) Bill (H7501/S2452) alongside Rhode Island Afterschool Network.

From sharing their experiences with leaders to showing up where decisions are made, they reminded everyone why investing in youth and families matters.

We are so proud of these young leaders for using their voices to create change! 💫

We need your voice! BOOST Bill (Building Opportunity of Out-of-School Time) will be heard in House Finance Committee on 4/28 at 4:30pm in Providence and we are calling on all OST Champions to submit letters of support and attend the hearing.

seeks to strengthen OST through investing in prevention, connection and community-based supports to ensure Rhode Island youth have relationships and resources they need to thrive.

You can make a difference:
- Submit a letter of support (testimony template in our Linktree)
- Attend the hearing with your community and express your support

In-person support is powerful, but if you can’t attend, written testimonies are just as important and still make your voice heard.

We look forward to having you there!

Next week is ! Organized by Collective for Youth Empowerment in STEM & Society (CYESS) and the Afterschool Alliance, Youth Voice Week is an opportunity to amplify youth voices and celebrate how afterschool and summer programs empower young people to take action on issues they care about.

Learn more at cyess.org/projects/youth-voice-week
Afterschool and summer programs provide unique spaces where young people can explore issues affecting their communities, develop leadership skills, and take meaningful action. When we center youth voice, we don’t just prepare young people for future civic participation - we recognize them as leaders and problem-solvers right now.

Throughout the week of April 13-17, programs, organizations, and young people are encouraged to share content that showcases youth-led advocacy, community projects, and civic action.

🤖🌟National Robotics Week is a time to celebrate
Rhode Island students engaged in robotics and STEM learning. Through designing, building, and programming robots, students gain real-world skills, confidence, and the joy of discovery.

This winter, a group of students at Calcutt Middle School afterschool program in Central Falls built soccer playing robots with kits from Project Lead the Way 🥅🦾

We are proud of our young peoples’ curiosity, creativity, and persistence. Keep exploring, experimenting, and innovating!
