About this grant

The Afterschool Alliance 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. This grant increase will support a joint conference with the Department of Education on Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math education in afterschool programs. This convening will include the participation of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers, state science, technology, engineering, and math experts, and the statewide afterschool networks to learn and advance science, technology, engineering, and math curricula in afterschool programs across the country.
