Help us provide meals for our members this holiday season!

ASTRO is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization which provides after-school care and enrichment for at-risk youth with an environment that supports academic, social, and emotional development. Through our childcare facility, we offer comprehensive homework support, enriching activities, mentorship, nutritious meals, and reliable transportation. We also offer offsite classes and services to elementary and middle schools across the Greater Providence area, as well as vocational training and internships to teens and young adults.

Childcare funding has long faced critical shortfalls, often placing quality services out of reach for families in need. Many of our families rely on CCAP (Child Care Assistance Program) support from DHS, though reimbursements cover only a fraction of the costs involved in delivering high-quality childcare. Therefore, we rely on community contributions to sustain and enhance our programs. Nutrition remains a central priority, as we strive to provide balanced, nourishing meals that support the health and well-being of our youth.

A $5 donation would provide snack and dinner to one child in our program for one day. Reaching our goal of $2500 would make a profound impact on our ability to provide meals through the month of December (will cover approximately 50% of costs for up to 35 members!). If donations surpass $10,000, we will be able to provide meals through the remainder of the school year!

A closer look at the services we provide at ASTRO:

Each day consists of structured activities designed to promote social emotional growth, confidence, mental stimulation, and reduced screen time. We also proudly equip our staff with trauma-informed training, allowing us to be able to engage each child with individualized care, supported by an on-site clinician who offers therapeutic and interventional services. This additional support comes at no cost for any of the members enrolled in our program.

Thank you for investing in our youth ♥
