Discover how Baldwin County Public Schools’ After School Care program is creating innovative, in-district partnerships that benefit both student organizations and younger learners. This session will explore the In-District Contract initiative, which enables high school and middle school groups to earn funds by designing and delivering engaging presentations and activities to elementary students in after school programs. Available during the summer, fall, and spring semesters, these contracts not only support student-led leadership development and organizational fundraising, but also serve as a powerful recruitment tool for sustaining club involvement across grade levels. Learn how this model promotes cross-grade collaboration, strengthens school communities, and offers meaningful enrichment experiences for all ages.
Perfect for administrators, program coordinators, and student activity leaders looking to expand student engagement while maximizing community impact.

Areas that will be examined include vocabulary, comprehension skills, and related content areas.
