We were honored to be joined by Dr. Chard at the Afterschool Development Conference held at the Scott Flamm Center in Newark in June. The conference brought together dozens of young people, business leaders, academics, Afterschool Development Working Group (ADWG) members and other community and non-profit leaders in New Jersey. In his keynote, Dr. Chard made a strong and passionate case for the value of afterschool development and the importance of being part of a “risk-taking movement.”
