To engage our children and youth in more meaningful educational experiences, Foundations believes schools and communities must reach beyond the traditional school day and tap into the hours of opportunity that occur after the last school bell rings.
As a national leader in the growing field of afterschool education, Foundations continually works to improve the quality of afterschool time by providing training and technical assistance, professionalizing the field and building systems to maintain a skilled workforce.
Our Center for Afterschool Education provides a wealth of customized professional development services—including convenient online professional development opportunities— for afterschool educators, and develops targeted materials and publications to support active teaching and learning in the unique afterschool setting.
Foundations has the deep knowledge and expertise to make afterschool hours a dynamic time for learning and healthy development for K-12 children and youth everywhere. To stay grounded in practice, we manage select pre-school through secondary afterschool programs.
