Afterschool Webinars

Join us for this thought-provoking discussion about how afterschool and community partners can best work together to support the transition from high school to college.

The Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 opened up a new federal funding source for afterschool programs across the country by expanding the At-Risk Afterschool Meals Program to all states. This webinar is intended for afterschool providers interested in bringing afterschool meals to their program.

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.

This webinar provides an introduction to the basics of afterschool policy.  The Afterschool Alliance team reviews facts and information about the current state of the field and how Congress can help support the mission of ensuring high quality afterschool programs for all children. 

Our nation’s leaders need to hear what is happening in their districts—both the struggles and the amazing success stories of the kids whose lives are impacted by afterschool programs every day. This webinar guides you through the process of setting up a Congressional district visit, offers some practical resources to help with the meeting and provides suggestions for what to bring. 

Public libraries are fast becoming hubs for 21st century learning and redefining traditional perceptions of what it means to “hang out” at the library. This webinar is focused on how these institutions—in partnership with youth-serving organizations—can be key allies in providing innovative and digitally-rich programming for teens and middle school youth.

This webinar highlights a recent study that asked expert afterschool practitioners, funders, and state education policymakers to define appropriate and feasible outcomes for youth in afterschool STEM programs. The resulting set of outcomes and indicators of learning provide a framework afterschool programs can use that will resonate with the larger STEM education community.

In conjunction with the release of the compendium, “Afterschool in Action: Innovative Afterschool Programs Supporting Middle School Youth,” this webinar features three of the 2012 Afterschool Innovators.

As science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) programming grows around the nation, the Afterschool Alliance recently announced a new national award – the Afterschool STEM Impact Awards, sponsored by the Noyce Foundation -- to help support the work of outstanding programs.
