After school Leadership Council

The Rhode Island Afterschool Plus Alliance (RIASPA) was founded in 2002 by the United Way of Rhode Island, in partnership with the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. Since its inception RIASPA has worked to envision a Rhode Island that maximizes how, when, and where children and youth learn to ensure their success. To accomplish this goal, RIASPA leads policy, practice, and systems change so that community and school-based learning and youth development opportunities are aligned for student success.
