Get Involved

We are passionate about ensuring that all youth in Greater Rochester have access to high-quality programs and stay on their journey to successful adulthood. We know you are, too.

There is a significant need for OST programs in Rochester. Not only are these programs critical to helping students achieve more, but they also help keep kids safe, parents working and our economy healthy. Currently, demand far exceeds capacity. In New York State, for every student in OST, 4 more are waiting to get in.

When you make a donation to GRASA, you:

Contribute to an improvement process designed to build, monitor and support high-quality youth programming across our region

Assist in the collection of resources across many different youth interests, to be shared across programs

Support frontline staff to receive essential professional development for free

Provide agencies a focused, strategic advocacy voice at local, state and national levels

Help create fun, engaging and safe places for our children to laugh and learn

You can help meet this need by investing now, with any amount, in GRASA. With your tax-deductible donation, you become part of an alliance of individuals and organizations across the community committed to ensuring all students have access to high-quality OST programs.
