2025 & 2026 City of Boston Emerging Youth Organization

At the After School Arts Program, we believe in fostering the creativity of our youth. Our projects are youth led and produced with a culturally responsive lens which allows ASAP to build a sense of belonging and connection with our students and families.

The After School Arts Program's core partnerships with Boston and Beyond,  Boston Public Schools and The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education during the Summer's 5th Quarter provides high quality enrichment and arts education. 

6/17 (June 17, 2023) The After School Arts Program launched our Inaugural Youth Creator Festival. A FREE day of arts education, creative workshops and panels for the entire community.

The After School Arts Program (ASAP) has been identified as a College, Career and Life Readiness exemplar program, which aligns with the core principles of Generation Success – a city-wide campaign led by the Boston Opportunity Agenda that works with schools, out-of-school programs, parents and industry groups across Boston to prepare students for college, career and life after high school.  We are proud to be featured on the Generation Success aligned program list!
