Massachusetts Statewide Afterschool Network

About this grant

This grant will support the Massachusetts Afterschool Partnership, which coordinates the Massachusetts Statewide Afterschool Network, to continue development of policy, partnerships, and funding to benefit youth in afterschool programs. The network’s specific initiatives will include: 1) designing a new afterschool data sharing model for districts and afterschool programs; 2) establishing a business advisory team to support afterschool programs and the network; 3) cultivating a community of practice for afterschool educators at local, state, and national levels to share promising practices, data, new resources and educational strategies; and 4) participating in the development and distribution of new afterschool program content in collaboration with the Foundation’s thematic partners.
