We recognize that afterschool programs are vital to our youth, families and communities.  Afterschool programs combat juvenile crime, help working families and provide our youth with enriching opportunities to grow into successful adults.  Kids in afterschool programs do better in school, and are less likely to get in trouble.  However, there are not nearly enough afterschool programs in our community to serve all of the youth and families who need them. 

We are proud partners of Afterschool for All, a national group of more than 19,000 individuals and organizations who support the goal of afterschool for all youth and children.  Among the Afterschool for All  partners are governors, mayors, police chiefs, parents, educators and youth, in addition to respected organizations and businesses including the YMCA of the USA, the National PTA, the National League of Cities, AARP, Time Warner, IBM and the NBA, NFL, NHL and MLB sports leagues.

Please support afterschool programs.
