Afterschool Today Magazine & Quality Focus Briefs

AfterSchool Today Digital Magazine is the official publication of NAA. Published bi-annually, it's dedicated to supporting members by providing quality content covering a wide variety of topics relevant to the field.

The National AfterSchool Association has published a series of focus briefs describing the State of Afterschool Quality.

However, more attention needs to be focused on programs to support the development of afterschool professionals.
