AFA Town Hall Event Gathers Providers' Voices to Inform Areas for Systems-Level Improvements

The Afterschool For All Advisory Council and its many co-sponsors would like to thank the more than 150 OST providers who  participated in the May 10^th AFA Town Hall at City College of San Francisco.

From the evaluation forms completed by participants, the Town Hall appears to have been a success, with overwhelmingly positive feedback. We met our three goals to:

·        Gather feedback from participants to be used by the AFA Advisory Council to plan its future work- more than 90% of respondents said they made a valuable contribution to the discussion on improving OST programming in SF

·        Familiarize and connect OST practitioners with the work of the Afterschool For All Advisory Council- Over two-thirds of respondents said they gained a new understanding of what AFA does and nearly 90% or respondents said they would access AFA tools from the AFA website

·        Provide practitioners the opportunity to share innovative program practices- over 90% of respondents said they felt they had a voice in the OST field in San Francisco

Thank you to all participants for sharing your innovations, ideas, and suggestions for improving OST in our city.
