Afterschool Webinar:

About this webinar:

The Federal Education law, ESSA, is currently in its first full year of implementation. Schools are looking for ways to encourage stakeholder engagement, identify resources, devise transparent reporting and prepare for well-rounded student success. Now is the perfect time to empower members of the afterschool field to join in the critical conversations that are happening in schools, districts, and state & local education agencies around the country in order to help ensure that youth around the country benefit from these important efforts. Join us for a great webinar to learn how advocates are building bridges between schools and out-of-school time programs and discuss how you too can build the field to prepare for these important conversations.
