The Arizona Center for After School Excellence has awarded the Commitment to Quality Award of Excellence to the James Family Prescott YMCA. The award was presented during the “School’s Out, Make It Count” conference on October 19 in Phoenix.
YMCA After School Care was nominated for the award after extensive program evaluation was followed by a comprehensive site visit earlier this year. Nominations from across Arizona were reviewed by an independent panel of judges, and finalists were required to present letters of support from parents, colleagues, and students, along with relevant documentation to demonstrate their commitment to quality out-of-school time programming. The James Family Prescott YMCA received successful program accreditation earlier this year by the Arizona Center for After School Excellence Pathway to Accreditation.
