The Iowa Afterschool Alliance is seeking input from afterschool and summer providers, as well as advocates of high quality afterschool and summer learning opportunities, school leaders, nonprofit organizations, and others, on how to increase the quality and availability of afterschool and summer programming across the state. These intimate conversations will help inform the development of a state report on afterschool and summer to be released on October 20, 2016 at the Summit on Advancing Academic and Social Outcomes for Iowa Children and Youth hosted by the Iowa Afterschool Alliance and partners.
