Capitol Hill Forum – Increasing Investment in Afterschool: The Role of Statewide Afterschool Networks (Friday, September 28, 2015, 10 AM – 12 PM ET)

This forum will highlight the work of the Statewide Afterschool Networks (SANs) in increasing the investment in afterschool, summer, and expanded learning programs. Statewide afterschool networks provide a structure for bringing together key decision makers interested in improving outcomes for children and youth through school-based and school-linked afterschool programs. In a conversation with three SAN leaders, we will hear how they helped build public will and increased advocacy efforts; participated in collective impact initiatives; improved the use of existing dollars and expanded funding; improved quality; and expanded access and equity in afterschool.
