First-Ever National Household Survey on How Kids Spend
the After School Hours
America After 3 PM, the most in-depth study ever to
explore how America's children spend their afternoons,
shows that our nation is failing to give its children
safe, supervised activities during the often-dangerous
afternoon hours.
In communities today, 14.3 million children take care
of themselves after the school day ends, including
almost four million middle school students in grades
six to eight. Just 6.5 million children are in afterschool
programs - but the parents of another 15.3 million
children say their children would participate in afterschool
- if a program were available.
America After 3 PM was commissioned by the Afterschool
Alliance with funding from the JCPenney Afterschool
Fund. Click on the links below to learn more.
