About this grant
Afterschool Alliance seeks to ensure that all children, youth and families have access to afterschool and summer learning programs. To meet this goal, the grantee will continue to: 1) lead the field in meeting the needs of young people post-pandemic and beyond; 2) serve as an information source on afterschool programs and resource for policymakers, programs and educators; 3) be an effective voice in its efforts to expand quality afterschool programs and innovative models; and 4) increase access to research and data on the effectiveness of quality afterschool programs. This grant will allow the grantee to continue its efforts to ensure that young people and families — particularly those in underserved populations — have access to engaging afterschool and summer learning opportunities. The Afterschool Alliance will also work with the 50 State Afterschool Network to support afterschool expansion through the American Rescue Plan and other federal, state and local afterschool initiatives.
