About this grant
This grant will continue to support the Chrysalis Foundation in its coordination of the Iowa Statewide Afterschool Network, which has been developing a public/private network of stakeholders to build a statewide afterschool system. This grantee is part of the second cohort of Mott-funded, statewide afterschool networks. This renewal grant will continue to provide core support to the network, while also encouraging new ideas designed to align and integrate afterschool and education systems. In addition to continuing its work in building the field of afterschool in Iowa, the network will identify two regions in the state to develop and implement a model for an expanded learning day for youth in middle and high school. The network will share lessons learned and products with the national network of statewide afterschool networks.
