About this grant
This grant will support the United Way of Delaware to coordinate the Delaware Statewide Afterschool Network. Over the next three years, the network will build a statewide coalition in support of afterschool programs and coordinate a unified vision to inform policy and quality afterschool initiatives. The network’s initiatives and priorities will: 1) create a strategic communications plan to build awareness of afterschool programs; 2) develop a website with a multimodel clearinghouse of best practices, professional development, and resources for afterschool providers; and 3) revise the quality standards for afterschool programs in Delaware.
