Afterschool programs in Wyoming keep kids safe, inspire learning, and give working parents peace of mind. Kids discover who they are and what they love to do, make smart choices, and avoid risky behaviors.
In 2019, 20,106 children (21%) would have been enrolled in a summer program if one were available to them.
