Contact Congress: COVID-19's Impact on Afterschool Programs
In late October, the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Coronavirus Relief Act of 2020 was introduced in the Senate. This legislation aims to expand access to supervised learning for students through the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic.
While the House version of this bill passed in September, the Senate has yet to vote on the legislation. Please take a moment to reach out to your Members of Congress in support of the bill and to let them know how the pandemic is affecting youth, youth-serving organizations, and your community-at-large.
