Because we recognize and value youth, the City of Rochester's RASA program is a model of quality, sustainable, after-school activities that lead to successful children who are committed to their schools and communities who eagerly become the leaders of tomorrow.

RASA provides academic enrichment, recreational, social, artistic and character development activities for students and their families to help them succeed. There are currently 16 RASA sites in schools, with lead agency partners delivering services to approximately 1400 students and 600 adults. By delivering these engaging and enrichment activities in after school settings, were able to help students stay connected to school, thereby increasing school attendance rates and improving academic success.
