Aspire’s 2023-2024 Program Year Results

Fostering Future Leaders: Annual Report July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024

Aspire’s 2023-2024 program year was pivotal for our organization, our students, and the South Arlington community. We served a record number of students, reaching 135 students in our afterschool program and a total of 188 unique students through our summer camp and afterschool program. This marks 54% growth over the last two years. In Fall 2023, we began serving students at two new school-based sites at Title I Arlington Public Schools, Charles R. Drew Elementary and Randolph Elementary. By having sites directly at schools, we have been able to deepen our connection to the community, fill gaps in services, and offer even more personalized support that aligns with the school curriculum. 

Over the course of the year, we also launched a new literacy curriculum, expanded our STEM programming, made investments in our staff and organizational sustainability, and built new partnerships with Arlington Public Schools that have the potential to shape our footprint in the South Arlington community for years to come. Our work continues to align closely with the vision and goals laid out in our 3-year Strategic Plan (2022-2025).
