Southie After School (SAS)

In 2020, senior counselors and directors from the South Boston Outreach Summer program recognized the need to provide free and accessible educational programming to the residents of South Boston's public housing developments during the academic year. To address this need, they revitalized the Southie Afterschool program (SAS) after a gap in student leadership from 2014 to 2020 using the "Developmental Assets Framework," which encourages SAS volunteers and directors to teach valuable interpersonal and intrapersonal skills to their students to benefit their youth.
