Corporate Partnerships
Aspire Afterschool Learning expands learning opportunities that help historically underserved students fulfill their potential through afterschool and summer learning programs that support and connect families, schools, and communities. Aspire partners with 20+ Arlington schools, nonprofits, businesses, and affordable housing providers each year, and reaches 3,000+ community members through services, volunteer opportunities, events, and communications efforts.

We’d love to talk to you about designing a package that aligns with your company’s goals!
Sponsor the Achieving Afterschool Celebration
Aspire’s annual benefit brings together local leaders in government, business, education, and nonprofit organizations to celebrate the growth of our students and the community members who make our work possible. Funds raised provide crucial year-round support for our programming. Sponsorships include event attendance, speaking opportunities, and recognition at the event and via emails, social media, and more.
Inspire the Next Generation of STEM Leaders
Aspire’s new Makerspace provides a laboratory and launching pad for students to explore STEM fields, develop new skills, and build their confidence. Local employers can join us to host special experiments, hands-on demonstrations, and career days to spark students’ love of STEM and build pipelines for STEM careers in Arlington.
Volunteer at Aspire
Aspire has a variety of volunteer opportunities – from one-off Community Volunteer Nights to ongoing mentoring and tutoring. We can also create custom volunteer opportunities.
Sponsor an Aspire Program or Event
Aspire has a robust curriculum that includes literacy, the Arts, STEM, social-emotional learning, nutrition, physical activity, and more. We also have special community events like Coffee Chats, Student Showcases, and Volunteer Nights. Corporate partners can financially support specific program areas or events, which can include special recognition and engagement opportunities.
Have Aspire at your next event
Our Executive Director, Paula Fynboh, regularly speaks on topics such as values-based leadership, scaling organizations for impact, building strong teams, and more. Last year, she was awarded the Torch Award for Ethical Leadership by the Leadership Center of Arlington. She is available to speak at conferences, employee affinity groups, and more.
