About Us

Who We Are

ALX Beyond is the hub for expanded learning opportunities in the City of Alexandria – opening the doors to learning and fun! We provide supports and professional learning to a network of 100+ K-12 expanded learning and out-of-school time providers, who are committed to providing high-quality programs for our youth.

What We Stand For

Vision: Every youth in the city of Alexandria thrives, regardless of circumstances, through equitable access and engagement in high-quality and meaningful out-of-school time and expanded learning programs.

Mission: We foster collaboration and provide coordinated support to a network of community organizations, government agencies, schools, and other partners dedicated to improving the equity, quality, and continuous innovation of youth-serving programs in the City of Alexandria.

    Our Values

    Equity and Inclusion

    Youth need environments that accept them exactly as they are. ALX Beyond acts to change systems, policies, and resources that deepen disparities based on any perceived difference. We actively change culture – an essential lens through which youth learn and grow.

      Positive Youth Development

      ALX Beyond embraces positive youth development and a whole-child approach to learning. Youth learn best when they feel safe and know they belong.

        Partnership

        ALX Beyond fosters a network of youth, families, schools, organizations, and government agencies that reflects our diverse community. We commit to learning and working together to achieve long-term opportunities for the youth of Alexandria.
