ASP Coordinator(s) Needed for Next Year

5/22/2023 10:27 am

We are searching for a volunteer to coordinate one or all of our After School Programs for the upcoming school year.

Many students and families enjoy these programs, but we need help to run them next year. These programs provide many opportunities for enrichment for our students, but if we don't have any coordinators, these programs will be cancelled for next year.

Our deadline is Tuesday, June 20, 2023. If we do not find someone by that date, we will not have After School Programs in 2023-2024.

Please reach out to president@twainptsa.org for more information.
