We Love Afterschool Programs for America's Kids

Afterschool programs keep children safe, inspire them to learn and

help working families. But for every child in an afterschool program, two more are waiting to get them into a program. Quality afterschool and summer programs provide homework help, mentoring, field trips, hands-on science, art, community service, job preparation, physical activity and more - while providing the supervision needed to keep them in a program. Please, support children and working families by investing in afterschool programs.

Help Afterschool Alliance reach 19,400 signers. Each name represents 1,000 children who would be engaged and safe after school, if a program were available.
