Message from the Executive Director: Highlights from FY14 and a Great Start to FY15!

As some of you have already seen on social media, we put together a document sharing some of our exciting highlights from Fiscal Year 2014.  It was quite a year!  From community recognition to expansion of our programs and improved performance management, last year was full of growth for AALEAD as an organization and for AALEAD youth.

As this month began FY2015, we are excited to see our youths’ enthusiasm for our expanded Middle and High School Programs in DC and new program at Annandale High School.  We now are running DC Middle and High School programs at community sites in Mount Pleasant / Columbia Heights two days per week and Chinatown two days per week.

We have gotten a great start at Annandale High School two days per week and look forward to serving more youth in Northern Virginia.

And, our Montgomery County programs are going strong!  We had over 100 people out to celebrate at our annual kick-off picnic on a Friday evening in Silver Spring.  Looking forward to seeing all we will accomplish this year together!
