About

Champion Clubs: In the school year 2017-2018, SASF provided 210 Champions Club afterschool programs located in 136 schools throughout NYC, serving 36,444 (school year: 27,623 & summer: 8,821) youth participants. Our largest funder, Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), provides 82 of these contracts; 63 of the 82 were middle school programs. Our second largest funder, NYS Department of Education, funds 124 contracts, including College Access for All, Advantage, 21st Century Community Learning, Empire, Community Schools, Expanded, and Wediko. Champions Club combines educational support services with skill-based programs, like: sports, physical fitness, health and wellness, visual and performing arts, community service learning projects, leadership, literacy, STEAM, and cultural and educational field trips. A key component of the Champions Club model is Pathways to Success, which includes High School Today, College Tomorrow (HSTCT). The HSTCT curriculum prepares middle school students for the crucial transition into high school and assists high school students with drop-out prevention programs, academic support, PSAT and Regents test prep, college counseling, college campus visits, internships, and workforce readiness programs. Typically, sites operate for 36 weeks during the school year with an average of 12-15 hours per week. Our data indicates an increase in school day attendance and overall improvement in academic learning as a result of participation in our programs. In the school year 2017-2018, 91% of principals surveyed indicated that SASF supports students with skills-based enrichment (arts, sports, STEM, and leadership); 99% of principals surveyed would recommend SASF to another school as an afterschool provider. SASF plays a critical role in the development of youth in our communities. SASF helps to supplement the limited enrichment programs available during the school day by providing thousands of youth with the opportunity to attend Champions Club during the afterschool hours. Over 600 staff from our 100+ program sites received professional development training. Tutor counselors received training on (1) managing groups in creative and positive ways and (2) supervising and engaging youth in safe inclusive ways. Data, sports, education and arts specialists received training related to their specific activity disciplines. Our new program director's training initiative trained 40 new directors on creating a culture of communication, employee relations, and retaining staff. MS 318's chess team (Williamsburg, Brooklyn) competed in the U.S. Chess Federation's National Junior High Championships in Atlanta, Georgia and finished 1st overall in the K-9th grade championship. Out of approximately 500 participants, 133 K-9th grade competitors scored high enough to compete in a separate ranked field. MS 318 fielded 11 students who ranked among the top 133, including one student who placed 5th in this group. Over 300 elementary students from 17 schools across the 5 boroughs participated in our 3rd annual spelling bee. Over 64 College Access for All schools ventured outside of the CUNY college system and explored private, historically black colleges (HBCUs), Ivy League universities such as Yale and Princeton, and other universities such as Marist, Howard, and Morgan State. Students were able to 'get out of town.' For many, this was the first time they started to think about going away to college and out of their immediate community. 800 elementary, middle, and high school students participated in a five day 3v3 basketball tournament, including an all-girls component. The event included giveaways for students, a live DJ and healthy snacks to help fuel the players on and off the court. Food Explorers, SASF's nutrition and wellness education program offered throughout the school year and summer, encourages students to make healthy choices. Our Food Explorers program emphasizes three essential components: 1) skills development, 2) fitness and nutrition 3) health education in safe and engaging environments.
