The Trust is Turning Ten!
This June the Trust is celebrating its tenth anniversary! The Trust was created in 1999 through the efforts of a broad coalition of stakeholders committed to improving outcomes for District children and youth. We are so grateful to all the public and private partners that have supported the Trust for the past ten years. Together, we have made tremendous progress in increasing the number of high quality programs in neighborhoods across the District and providing learning opportunities and technical assistance for the organizations and individuals providing these programs. We look forward to working with all our partners as we continue the work that is so important to all of us.
Check back for photos from our anniversary events, highlighting the wonderful opportunities for learning and youth development provided in out-of-school time programs.
