Afterschool Webinar:

Twenty-seven states now have dedicated funding for afterschool and summer programs in their budgets, with eleven states creating new funding streams in the past three years. As federal relief funds run out, state and local governments must find ways to continue or expand access to quality afterschool and summer programs. Hear from state and city leaders about how they’ve worked with lawmakers to prioritize afterschool programs and learn how you can get involved in efforts to increase public investments in these programs.
