Just wanted to say thanks again for a great two days with After School University. You and your team did a great job delivering a practical hands on training to a diverse group of people with varying levels of experience in the field. The personal testimonies from the youth members of the team were powerful and emphasized how each staff can have a positive impact on students in their programs. After School University provided our staff with the tools they need to really make a difference in the lives of our students each and every day.
