Afterschool Webinars

With the quick transition from in-person to virtual learning environments, afterschool providers are quickly adapting to serve young people in this new virtual world. But sifting through all of the resources that have flooded the field can be a tough task. Instead, we can learn from experts who have years of experience preparing educators to engage students in a virtual environment.

Federal 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) Afterschool and Summer Programs Empower America's Families, Youth, and Communities.

One effective strategy to increase program capacity is bringing service year members to your afterschool program. We go over the nuts and bolts of how you can make this happen.

Join the Afterschool Alliance and Forum for Youth Investment to unpack the findings from “Setting the Stage: Practical Ideas for Implementing High-Quality Afterschool Arts Programs,” which looks at how professional teaching artists, high-quality equipment, and dedicated, welcoming art spaces can make a difference for afterschool programs interested in embedding arts learning.

Social and emotional learning (SEL) has gained popularity as a concept in recent years and there remains confusion as well as great interest in the meaning and implementation of SEL in OST settings. In this webinar, we are extremely to have Elizabeth Devaney from the Children’s Institute at University of Rochester and Deborah Moroney from American Institutes for Research joining us to talk about their new book, Social and Emotional Learning in Out-of-School Time: Foundations and Futures.  

The Federal Education law, ESSA, is currently in its first full year of implementation. Schools are looking for ways to encourage stakeholder engagement, identify resources, devise transparent reporting and prepare for well-rounded student success. Join us for a great webinar to learn how advocates are building bridges between schools and out-of-school time programs and discuss how you too can help the field to prepare for - and engage in - these important conversations.

The webinar explains how the Afterschool Alliance is supporting STEM after school through field-building, policy and advocacy, and research. The Afterschool Alliance team guides you through an interactive virtual tour of website resources and an overview of recent and upcoming STEM publications for the afterschool field.

In this webinar, guest speakers representing three successful afterschool programs will share their experiences in developing and sustaining partnerships with STEM-rich institutions to improve participant impacts and outcomes. 

This webinar will introduce the afterschool and summer learning field to the Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Standards in Out of School Time, the first-ever comprehensive national nutrition and physical activity standards for K-12 out-of-school programs, and Healthy Kids Out of School, an initiative that offers resources to provide healthy foods and increase physical activity.
