Are you a supervisor in an afterschool program? Your perspective is sought through a comprehensive, confidential survey designed by researcher Dr. Sonia Toledo PhD, founder of Dignity of Children, to gather insights into challenges faced by afterschool supervisors in low-income communities. Through better understanding these challenges, particularly the role of emotional intelligence in supervisors for effective program outcomes, this project aims to guide the development of targeted resources for supervisors. Participating supervisors can enter a draw for a $100 Visa Gift Card. You can take the survey here by September 10, 2023. If you have any questions, please contact Dr. Toldeo at sonia.toledo@dignityofchildren.com.
