Flourish: Twelve Guiding Principles for Out-of-School Time Professionals (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781957058207)

In This Together

With 40+ years of collective experience working and volunteering with young people and with youth organizations, Amy Brady and Lana Hailemariam have come to this conclusion: the adults who work with young people during out- of-school time are some of education's most unsung heroes. They are on a mission to change that!

Amy Brady is a Denver native. She has been a teacher of middle schoolers, an educator of K-12 afterschool participants, a coach of afterschool leaders, and a curriculum developer. Her proudest experience has been sharing the ups and downs of life with her endlessly supportive husband and three vibrant and heart-centered children.

Lana Hailemariam was born and raised in the DMV (DC, Maryland, Virginia) and now resides in Denver, CO. Whether coaching cheerleaders, teaching elementary students, or working in middle-school administration, Lana's heart is with young people. Her favorite moments are spent hanging out with her teenage daughter and her little circle of world- changing friends.

Together Amy and Lana are inspired work partners, passionate teammates, dedicated friends, and soul sisters.
