Afterschool and Summer Learning Programs Are Essential for COVID-19 Recovery

During the crisis, Prime Time, afterschool and summer camp providers have been innovating to stay connected with children and youth and keep them engaged in learning. Some have implemented safety measures to keep their physical sites open, while others now offer remote support and virtual programming to help with school work and hands-on activities that complement school lessons and provide outlets for social and emotional expression, leadership and exploration.

Afterschool and Summer Learning Programs are Essential for COVID-19 Recovery The afterschool field is thinking big and bold about our role in a comprehensive learning day to help ensure that students have every possible opportunity, virtually and in person, today and in a post- COVID-19 world. Now is the time to invest in afterschool and summer learning programs as they will need additional staff and professional development, as well as more space and the ability to run full-day programming to most effectively support working parents and school districts’ revised schedules. The Afterschool Alliance will continue to work collaboratively with communities so that their schedules and services are efficient, effective, and meet the needs of the families they serve. The Afterschool Alliance is calling on your support. Learn More Afterschoolalliance.org
