ASAP\/After School Activities Partnerships<\/strong> develops and supports high-quality after school activities and resources to empower youth and strengthen communities in Philadelphia. ASAP\u2019s four program initiatives compliment classroom instruction, keeping kids safe and engaged through learning activities and experiences that teach valuable skills and broaden horizons.<\/p>\n

Chess<\/strong> develops problem solving and strategic thinking skills.
\nDebate<\/strong> builds critical reading and public speaking skills.
\nScrabble<\/strong> teaches the essential building blocks of literacy.
\nDrama<\/strong> develops teamwork skills and expands cultural knowledge.<\/p>\n

In order to reach over 5,000 Philadelphia youth each year, ASAP relies on volunteers who are passionate about working with young people and excited about one of our activities. No experience is necessary, as ASAP will teach volunteers everything they need to know, and give each club the supplies they need to be successful. To ensure continuity for youth, ASAP asks that volunteers commit to working with one club (two hours per week) for at least a semester (12-16 weeks).<\/p>\n
