General Purposes

Afterschool Alliance

This grant will allow the Afterschool Alliance to continue its efforts to ensure that children and youth -- particularly those in underserved populations -- will have access to engaging afterschool opportunities that inspire learning and achievement in school and in life. The grantee serves as a critical voice and organizer of the field, works with federal policymakers to advance opportunities for afterschool programming, and ensures that the field's lessons inform national education and youth policy initiatives. The grantee will continue to: 1) serve as an information source on afterschool programs and resources; 2) be an effective voice in its efforts to expand quality afterschool programs; 3) encourage the development of local, state, and national afterschool constituencies and systems; and 4) communicate the positive impact of afterschool programs on children, families, and communities. The grantee will also work with the 41 statewide afterschool networks as a member of the national Afterschool Technical Assistance Collaborative.
