[YL] Announcing the new Afterschool Academies, limited opportunity!

[Tony Streit]

YouthLearn Subscribers, 

We're excited to let you know about a new professional development 
offering that YouthLearn has helped develop with other key partners in the 
field of afterschool.  The Afterschool Teaching Institute (ASTI) will be a 
three-day intensive training in developing content-rich afterschool 
curriculum and YouthLearn has been integrally involved in developing the 
materials.  We'll also be a part of the training team running the 
sessions, designed to take place concurrently with the Beyond School Hours 
Conference put on by Foundations, Inc. in Atlanta, Georgia from February 
16-19, 2005.  Please see the announcement below for more details.

This intensive training is free to Beyond School Hours attendees, but we 
only have 60 spaces--so sign up today!  If you have any questions about 
the ASTI or our other work on the Afterschool Academies, please send me an 
email.  We're hoping that the YouthLearn community will be 
well-represented at this event! 

Here's wishing everyone a great Holiday Season and we hope to see you in 
Atlanta!

Best, 

Tony
