Make Sure You Are Counted
Complete the National Afterschool Workforce Survey
|
|
Currently, there is limited information and demographic data about the afterschool workforce. The
National AfterSchool Association (NAA) wants to better understand the afterschool workforce so they can support professional growth, improve representation for all in advocacy efforts, and help to advance equity within the field.
The first ever National Afterschool Workforce Survey is NAA’s research endeavor to deliver a robust profile of the afterschool workforce, its experiences, and perspectives. Your participation helps NAA uncover trends and identify opportunities and gaps in the field that will inform new strategies.
Complete the National Afterschool Workforce Survey and be counted … because YOU count.
Note: The survey should be completed by anyone who works with or on behalf of youth in out-of-school time so that we can capture the breadth of people that it takes to make afterschool work and to help identify potential career paths for afterschool professionals.
