Every Young Person Deserves the Chance to Thrive

Alexandria Beyond the Classroom (ALX Beyond) expands access to afterschool and summer programs for Alexandria's children and youth. We connect families, schools, and out-of-school time providers to ensure every young person has the chance to explore their interests, build new skills, and confidently step into their future.

Why It Matters

Young people spend 80% of their waking hours outside of school, and those hours shape who they become. Quality out-of-school time and expanded learning programs help youth discover their passions, build relationships, succeed academically, and thrive in the future.

Yet, in Alexandria, nearly 70% of youth lack access to these opportunities. Without them, too many young people miss out on critical moments of growth, connection, and belonging.

How We Make an Impact

ALX Beyond is working to change this lack of access by:

  • Connecting families to hundreds of programs across the city through our Youth Program Locator
  • Supporting local providers with free resources to strengthen programs and reach more youth
  • Planning a pilot to bring free afterschool programs directly into middle schools
  • Removing barriers like cost and transportation so all youth can participate

Together, we can ensure every young person discovers their passion, purpose, and joy. Donate today and expand opportunities for Alexandria's youth!
