DALLAS AFTERSCHOOL NEWS
OUR PARTNERS ASKED AND WE DELIVERED
Dallas Afterschool hosted our latest virtual round table discussion last week on child care regulations and state licensing. Kerri Fowler of Texas Health and Human Services led us in an interactive discussion on what it takes for Out-of-School Time programs to become licensed child care sites.

Regardless of whether sites pursue licensing, Dallas Afterschool is still here to coach all our partners to safety and high quality!
THANK YOU, BAIRD!
Special thank you to our friends at Baird who volunteered last week. The group visited and helped build 250 CALM kits for students in record time. Check out this link to see our Baird volunteers in action!
WE DID IT!
Our donors are the best! Thank you for helping us exceed our goal for North Texas Giving Day and raise $12,500 for students in Dallas County.
WE SCORED AN A+!
Charity Navigator has given us a perfect rating! One more reason Dallas Afterschool is a great investment.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR CEO
Christina K. Hanger
This fall, as Dallas Afterschool continues to respond to the changing needs of our partners, I wanted to take a moment to share our 2020-2021 Impact Report.

Despite a full year of operating during a pandemic, I am incredibly proud of how much we were able to accomplish on behalf of our parters, students, and the Out-of-School Time system. Of course, this work would not be possible without the support of amazing donors, like you.

Thank you for your continued belief in our mission and work in the community!
WE HAVE A NEW TEAM MEMBER!
Community Engagement Specialist

Welcome, Stephanie!
