Hi everyone! Happy New Year! If you are seeing this post, I'm excited for you all to watch my new year's resolution in full effect: using my platform to highlight the incredible work being done at After-School All-Stars. My name is Guillermo Escobar (he/him/él), and I am the National Director of Programs, where I oversee program operations, training, curriculum, federal grants and program quality for our entire network. I've been with ASAS since 2005, which means I have nearly 20 years of stories to tell about our students, our staff, and our impact in the out-of-school-time space. I look forward to using this platform more frequently, (don't fault me, I'm just late to the game), to share, post, highlight, spotlight everything that is ASAS! I can't wait for you all to see what we've been up to.
