About this grant
This grant will support the University of Kansas Center for Research, Inc., to coordinate the Kansas Statewide Afterschool Network. In addition to continuing the network’s core work to advance afterschool programs in Kansas, it will complete a multiyear project to build a statewide system for afterschool focused on science, technology, engineering, and math through policy, sustainability, and quality efforts. The network seeks to support a growing statewide economy focused on science, technology, engineering, and math by using afterschool to develop students’ skills to meet future workforce demands. To ensure that new models and best practices are incorporated nationally, the network will share lessons learned and products with the other statewide afterschool networks.
