Aspire Afterschool Learning is the only daily, accessible academic afterschool program offered at no cost to historically underserved 3rd-8th grade students in Arlington, Virginia. We started as a small grassroots organization, and have expanded our programming, deepened our supports, and grown to serve more students who are most impacted by the opportunity gap.

Our Achieving Afterschool Celebration will raise vital funds for our work. With your support, Aspire will:

Serve 150+ students every school day through our afterschool program and 120+ in the summer through our six-week summer learning camp.
Engage students through expanded STEM programming and social-emotional learning.
Expand support for families (including through a food pantry and workshops).
Maintain small class sizes and personalized support even as we meet the highest-ever demand for programming.
Ensure that our programs remain no-cost to families.

We need your help to make sure that we can sustain our no-cost programs for as many students as possible. Join us for a fun evening of conversation, raffle prizes, and impactful speakers as we celebrate the learning and growth of our students with the community members who have helped make that work possible.

Description

Presented by Ex Pow-anpongkul with Arlington Buyback, this session breaks down a practical, low-cost approach to getting a local business in front of potential customers on Google without running ads. It focuses on clear, actionable steps rather than theory or technical jargon. Topics include setting up and optimizing a Google Business Profile, and how to create simple, targeted web pages (not blog posts) that show up when local customers search for exactly what you offer. Attendees will follow a simple checklist and have time to ask questions about applying these methods to their own business.

12:00 - 1:00 p.m.: Presentation
