Meet Franchon Crews, whose remarkable afterschool experiences are featured in America’s Afterschool Storybook: "I’ve been to Russia, Ecuador and Argentina. In November, I will be heading to China. If I wasn’t involved in my afterschool program, I’d probably be stuck somewhere hanging out in the streets wasting my talents. I’ve always been ambitious but my afterschool program helped show me that my possibilities are endless."
America's Afterschool Storybook tells the stories of people and communities transformed by afterschool programs. The Afterschool Alliance launched the Storybook to help commemorate the 10th anniversary of the 21st Century Community Learning Centers, the only federal initiative dedicated to supporting community afterschool programs.
