MSN and ESON After School Guides for 2021-22

10/27/2021

0 Comments

Has a parent ever asked you: "Hey do you know of a program for......?" Have you ever noticed a talented young person and wanted to know where to send them to hone that skill?

Check out the landscape of programs offered to young people and families this fall in our ESON and MSN Resource Guides.

If you run a program: Read your entry and look at the other options - part of being in this network is knowing more than just your own offerings. Also, send us pictures (or edits) from your programs that we can add to the Guide!

If you work with families and young people right now, tell them about this resource. They can be shared in multiple ways:

Flyer with QR codes for both guides (electronic versions) and Shawn and Annie's contact info
Live version of Middle School Network After School Guide: https://bit.ly/MSNAfterschoolGuide2021
Live version of the ESON After School Guide (for PK-5th grade) : https://bit.ly/ESONAfterschoolGuide2021
Request a # of printed copies from us and we will deliver them to you!
Both Guides are on Find It Cambridge
Bonus: ESON slideshow of programs and resources (including how to get a voucher)

Help us make this community resource as powerful as it can be! Spread the word!

Community Announcements from the MSN/ESON Kickoff

Emily St Germain, Cambridge Public Library: The HIVE at Cambridge Public Library is open to the public! It houses two recording studios, a space for virtual and augmented reality, digital and traditional tools like laser cutters, 3D printers, button makers, sewing machines and more. Free to the public and we'd love to welcome children, youth and their families into the space (and special partner programs!). First step for young people is to attend a safety training.
Barb MacEachern, STEAM Initiative: STEAM Initiative is committed to centering racial justice in all we do:
- STEAM it Up! Event on Thurs 10/21 from 6-8pm outdoors at the Pemberton Tennis Courts - 24 different community partners running hands on STEAM activities!
- STEAM Monthly Communities of Practice: returning this year with facilitator Melinda Barbosa, starting 10/21 on Zoom from 10-noon. CoP is for anyone engaged in program planning or running activities with young people of any age!
- How can we support you? We have activity kits, can offer PD, thought partnership and much more. We would love to talk about your opportunities and possibilities! Email Barb at bmaceachern@cambridgema.gov
Deanna Wu, Cambridge Public Health Dept: We received a grant from the Bureau of Substance Addiction Services, which aims to to improve youth wellness through prevention and delaying the onset of first use of substances (alcohol, marijuana, nicotine, etc.). I'm looking for people (providers, parents, youth) to join a workgroup/planning committee to help make decisions on how to use the funds and implement the grant. I'm hoping this work will be able to address things like mental health, racial equity, positive youth development, and restorative justice.
Deanna Wu, Cambridge Public Health: Cambridge is offering free PCR testing to people of all ages four days a week, no appointments needed. More information, including the schedule, can be found here: https://www.cambridgema.gov/covid19/Testing
