Who We Are:

Wings began in the fall of 2001 under a grant from the U.S. Department of Education. Wings continues to serve students K-12, with financial support from local towns, private donations and grants.

Afterschool programs spark interest in learning so youth attend school more often, get better grades, and improve their behavior in class. They are safe spaces for youth to build protective factors by providing opportunities for young people to connect, to express themselves, and to build healthy relationships with caring staff. And it’s the staff—the hundreds of dedicated afterschool professionals who work tirelessly every single day to care for the state’s youth—who are the heart of afterschool in Vermont.
To honor their work and highlight the importance of high-quality afterschool care for Vermont’s children, families, and communities, Vermont Afterschool has established two annual awards—the Afterschool Professional of the Year Award and the Afterschool Rising Star Award—to be given to afterschool professionals whose work exemplifies afterschool best practices.
