Education professional supporting quality before and after school programs through out districts in Chester County.
What an exciting journey this has been!
Today, we recognize #AfterschoolAmbassadorPA Claudia Aust. https://hubs.ly/Q02F1Hx30 Since 2021, as a director of youth programs at the YMCA of Greater Brandywine, Ms. Aust opened two new school district programs, and she supports 24 Pennsylvania State licensed program sites. Claudia truly found her passion when she began advocating for increased support for afterschool programs with legislators, advocacy groups and peers. Her most rewarding experience was hosting Josh Shapiro at the YMCA Early Learning Center in Berwyn just this year. Claudia used her training as an ambassador and her experience during that visit to effectively communicate the needs of afterschool programing and how passing a budget that supports afterschool programing would benefit the commonwealth on multiple levels.
