PBHA’s Franklin Afterschool Enrichment (FASE) is a free afterschool program that strives to cultivate an inviting and structured space to nurture the academic, emotional, and social development of grade school students living in or near Franklin Field or Hill public housing developments in Dorchester. Throughout the academic year, we aim to empower our students by reinforcing their academic skills through small-group tutoring, providing them with mentoring relationships, and creating opportunities for students to strengthen community bonds with their peers in a safe environment. Our grounding principles center restorative justice and socio-emotional learning in our curriculum, field trips, and day-to-day interactions. Every day at FASE, we make an intentional effort to create space for joy, play, and fun as we grow closer as a community. We believe that by learning and playing together, our youth will develop qualities that will not only spark their growth in the classroom, but also outside of the classroom, as they become better citizens in their community and in the world.
