America After 3 PM Executive Summary

America After 3 PM

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.
