YOUNGSTOWN — More than 300 Youngstown after-school program students marched from the Youngstown Board of Education offices to Choffin Career and Technical Center as part of the Youngstown Afterschool Alliance’s “Lights on Afterschool” event.
At Choffin, students at the YAA’ fourth annual event today moved from station to station engaging in activities designed to improve their learning skills.
The alliance’s primary focus is on mathematics, reading, youth development and parent engagement, said April Alexander, the organization’s program director.
The YAA is a collaboration with Youngstown School District, the United Way of Youngstown and the Mahoning Valley, and other community partners. It is supported through 21st Century Community Learning Center grants from the Ohio Department of Education.
