About this grant
This grant will support the University of Maine at Farmington to coordinate the Maine Statewide Afterschool Network. In addition to continuing the network’s core work to advance afterschool programs in Maine, it will complete a multiyear project to establish a system of credit attainment for school-linked, afterschool opportunities. The network seeks to create a model for standards-based, school-linked, afterschool programs that provide youth with personalized learning opportunities and credit toward graduation in afterschool settings. 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.
