Fill Out the Success in Afterschool Survey to Share Your Program's Accomplishments

Please take a moment to complete this short survey to share successes earned by your afterschool program, or a program you know well. You will be entered in a drawing to win a Kindle Fire or a $10 iTunes gift certificate. Three Kindle Fire winners will be drawn from the highest quality submissions. Fifty iTunes gift certificate winners will be drawn at random. You must send in your submission by the new extended January 31, 2012 deadline, to be eligible to win a prize.

We need these examples of success to strengthen support for investments in quality programs. They will also provide information critical to improving programs across the country. We are particularly concerned with sharing the successes of programs that have received 21st Century Community Learning Center funds as we press for increased funding for 21st CCLC. Please share examples of programs that boost student success in school (e.g., behavior, attendance, grades, academic skills, grade advancement) or provide engaging learning opportunities in areas such as STEM, digital learning, arts, health/nutrition, global learning and physical activity, to name a few.

The survey is part of a new campaign by the Afterschool Alliance and Terry Peterson, longtime associate of former U.S. Secretary of Education Dick Riley and now Senior Fellow at the College of Charleston—with support from the Mott Foundation—to collect and share the many success stories of afterschool programs nationwide. Selected success stories will receive national attention in print and Web materials and will be shared with Congress. Materials will be sent to you for your own promotional use.

If you have questions or suggestions for this effort, please contact Chris D'Agostino at cdagostino@afterschoolalliance.org or (202) 347-2030.
