Afterschool Webinars

The vast majority of children experience the death of a close family member or friend by the time they complete high school. In this webinar, we will help out-of-school professionals learn basic skills in how to talk with and support students as they struggle to understand and cope with a loss in their lives.  

This webinar will focus on Title IV of ESSA and opportunities for community-school partnerships such as the Student Success and Academic Enrichment block grant, 21st Century Community Learning Centers, Full Service Community Schools, Promise Neighborhoods, and Statewide Family Engagement Centers. 

On this webinar, researchers from CASEL will provide out-of-school time leaders and practitioners with guidance on how to integrate the various frameworks for youth competence and implement effective strategies that create supportive environments for social and emotional learning.

With close to 1 in 3 children and teens overweight or obese in the U.S., the health and wellness of students today is a national priority, concerning everyone from policy makers to parents. Afterschool programs are an integral partner to keep kids active and healthy during the out-of-school-time hours and a vital piece of the solution to tackle the obesity epidemic.

Communications experts will walk through strategies and tools to leverage your state's data from the Afterschool Alliance's new Kids on the Move report to garner positive coverage and awareness of afterschool programs' role in supporting health and wellness.

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. 

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.
