Utah Statewide Afterschool Network

About this grant

This grant will support Voices for Utah Children in its efforts to expand and mobilize the Utah Statewide Afterschool Network. The purpose of the network is to expand and mobilize community collaborations and public/private partnerships that result in quality, sustainable afterschool programming throughout Utah, especially for low-income children and hard-to-reach populations. Goals of the network include: creating a sustainable structure of statewide, regional, and local partnerships focused on supporting statewide policy development; supporting the development of statewide policies that will secure the resources to sustain afterschool programs; and supporting statewide systems to ensure afterschool programs are of high quality. This grantee is part of the fifth cohort of Mott-funded statewide afterschool networks.
