Congratulations OregonASK
As stated by Krina Lee, Executive Director of SKEF, "These (AWESOME) awards honor the unsung heroes who quietly go about their work and make sure every child, everyday has the opportunity to be awesome!" On September 8 with over 500 SKEF supporters in attendance, OregonASK director, Beth Unverzagt accepted an AWESOME award on behalf of OregonASK. The announcement stated, " OregonASK is almost single-handedly responsible for raising the quality of before and after school programs in Oregon. They are advocates on all levels of policy, finance and best practices. They created the bar, and they've kept raising it for themselves and everyone else, including the development of the state quality standards and bringing digital badges to Oregon that help providers show their expertise. They have established the Oregon Girls Collaborative project, a partnership that encourages girls to pursue a career and opportunities in STEM subjects. They bring innovative training and trainers to Oregon."
As OregonASK continues to provide training, technical assistance and policy support for individuals and programs in afterschool and summer across the state, we thank our partners. We are grateful for the recognition of the 10 years of work done in Oregon on behalf of the National Network of Afterschool Networks and the National Afterschool Association. Our work could not be accomplished without the support the C.S. Mott Foundation, Noyce Foundation and the Oregon Department of Education - Early Learning Division
and so many others.
