Why get involved?

Kids who participate in after school programs:

  • have higher rates of success in adulthood

  • are more likely to attend school

  • have increased self esteem²

  • “for every child in an afterschool program, there are 3 more waiting to get in”

  • many parents report not being financially able to send their kids to afterschool programs

  • since 2014, afterschool program participation in America has decreased¹
