Everyday heroes can be found in after-school programs all across the country. They are men and women, young and old, students, retirees and parents. They bring energy, playfulness, a sense of wonder and a desire to make a difference. They are sometimes thanked by grateful parents or programs, but for the most part, their contributions often go unrecognized and unappreciated.
