Mission Statement 

PASA’s mission is to expand and improve quality after-school, summer, and other expanded learning opportunities for the youth of Providence by organizing a sustainable, public/private system that contributes to student success and serves as a national model.

After going through the website I was able to see the variety of programs that they offer to students and schools. They provide hands-on learning to expand their learning strategy and appeal student needs. Students are able to develop a sense of belonging and ownership of their learning,. I love all of that they provide a wide variety of learning options to encourage creativity. I also really like the events and news that they share on the website. This allows the community to stay involved and be able to share events easily. 




If I was able to choose a Future Position within the organization, I would choose to be the Executive Director!!

Currently the Executive Director is Hillary Salmons

She manages the oversight of PASA and its three strategies. She also has primary responsibility for community engagement and fundraising efforts.

Previously, Hillary led an education initiative called Rhode Island Scholars where business leaders spoke to middle school students around the state on the importance of college and taking math and science courses in high school. She also served as the Vice President for Program Development for Health & Education Leadership for Providence (HELP), a now-defunct coalition focused on improving the health and education of the children of Providence.

She has a MA in Public Administration from the University of Oklahoma and a BA from Harvard University.

I can see myself in this position because of my long-term career goals. I push myself every day to challenge my performance. I enjoy taking the leadership role and fundraising. I know that my work experience over the years and drive would allow me to fit the qualifications. 

Reviewing the current E.D. Education, I believe that my own credentials would make me a perfect fit for the position. Social Work is a passion for me and now that I can tie in the non-profit portion of it as well. 

Being involved in student organizations has helped me gain more confidence in raising funds for events and coordinating them for the campus. Participating in leadership student organizations has also allowed me lead others and delegate duties. 



The role of an Executive Director provides leadership and guidance for an organization. In a non-profit setting, they are responsible for managing staff, increasing fundraising, implementing new programs and working with board directors. The non-profit organizations include foundations, public charities and social advocacy groups.





Questions to ask:



1. Can she explain more about the (RFP) more in-depth. How can you amend a grant?

              If a youth was to come up to me and asked me about the Black Lives Movement I feel that I would be prepared to have that conversation. I would describe it as a powerful social justice movement and a topic that needs to have more advocacy.  This movement is not just about saving black lives but all loss of life. It is unfortunate that we have to identify the loss of lives as predominantly African Americans however ,numbers do not lie and the evidence is there to support  that black men are being targeted by the police, justice system and media. They have become a marginalized group that suffers from institutional racism. I would explain that a marginalized group is a group who are considered to be unimportant within society. Examples of these groups include people with disabilities and undocumented immigrants, and people with low-income. This has led to black communities stuck in poverty highe...

The L4L community is about resilience and excellence, moving side-by-side with students to meet the challenges in becoming a college graduate." They also have this statement located on the home page.

Begun in 2012, L4L is a network of resources at RIC that links students to a  wi...
