New Jersey Statewide Afterschool Network

About this grant

This grant will support the New Jersey School-Age Care Coalition in its efforts to develop the New Jersey Statewide Afterschool Network. Through the network, the grantee intends to strengthen the existing linkages among policymakers, funders, practitioners, and consumers to facilitate effective planning and efficient implementation of a highly coordinated system of services for all children in afterschool programs throughout New Jersey. Over the next three years, the grantee will commit various resources to advance the afterschool needs of youth through a public awareness campaign that will provide opportunities for policymakers to invest additional resources into quality afterschool programs. This grantee is part of the sixth cohort of Mott-funded statewide afterschool networks.
