Alaska's indomitable afterschool and summer learning educators are our heroes without the capes! These superheroes go the distance to support, nurture, and grow the young people of their communities. These educators build and support relationships through kindness and passion, inspire learning, and uplift the young people and the community in which they serve.   

As an Advancing Afterschool Fellow with the Alaska Afterschool Network, a program of Alaska Children’s Trust, my journey has been one of advocacy, collaboration, and learning. I’ve had the opportunity to wear multiple hats within the Network, from supporting advocacy efforts to engaging communities and expanding access to quality afterschool programming.
