We’re here for kids and families. Afterschool programs can help young people learn, grow, and reach their full potential.
Afterschool programs provide essential support to America’s kids and families.
Afterschool is a lifeline for youth and families, helping parents keep working while inspiring and supporting young people. Programs are helping students grow academically and socially, and connect with caring mentors in a safe, welcoming space.
Afterschool provides a strong return on investment and public support is stronger than ever. But right now, far too many children are missing out. More than 22 million children would be in an afterschool program if one were available.
Supporting afterschool and summer programs is a smart way to help young people reach their full potential and build a strong economy that will benefit generations to come!
