A coalitionof 40 local organizations is working to ensure that by 2024, every young person in San Antonio has access to out-of-school programs to help them grow, learn and thrive.
How do these programs impact young peoples' academic outcomes? What incentives and imperatives do we have as a community to invest in youth development? How can parents learn more and get their kids involved?
Can San Antonio be the top U.S. city for youth, as Excel Beyond the Bell envisions?
Guests:
- Ginger Walker, data director for the P16 Plus Council of Greater Bexar County
- Ryan Lugalia-Hollon, Ph.D., executive director of nonprofit initiative Excel Beyond the Bell
- Andrea Figueroa, executive director of Martinez Street Women’s Center and Excel Beyond the Bell steering committee member
Excel Beyond the Bell's "Values in Action" 2017 Summit takes place Wednesday, May 17, at the Oblate School of Theology.
