The Power of Story: Creating Afterschool Moments That Stick
Afterschool programs thrive when learning feels connected, creative, and full of purpose. The Story-Powered Leadership Framework gives leaders and staff the tools to bring that energy to life. Built from AB Studios’ years of designing cinematic, story-driven lessons, this framework helps programs transform ordinary enrichment into experiences that engage students, strengthen teams, and build lasting connections.
Through practical strategies and ready-to-use prompts, leaders can weave storytelling principles into everyday activities, making learning memorable, staff confident, and students eager to return.
This framework helps programs:
- Lead with Curiosity: Spark imagination with missions, prompts, and roles that give students ownership and purpose.
- Coach with Intention: Strengthen staff confidence through short, supportive reflections that focus on student experience.
- Build Momentum: Create anticipation and connection with multi-day arcs, cliffhangers, and celebrations of progress.
- Boost Engagement: Help students and staff feel part of something bigger, increasing attendance and enthusiasm.
