Professional Development and Technical Assistance

The Center conducts professional development sessions across the country, and widely disseminates professional development tools and publications, reaching thousands of afterschool staff, leaders, networks, and administrators each year.

As we engage with practitioners, leaders, and organizations, we seize the opportunity to learn. Every session is a learning experience that keeps us grounded and connected to today's challenges and opportunities.

Our professional development sessions are tailored to the world of afterschool and designed for afterschool staff at all levels.  Participants come from urban, rural, and small-town settings. Most share similar program goals and demographics, such as:

• Providing academic enrichment and homework time
• Enrolling between 60 and 80 youth
• 75% of the children qualifying for free and reduced-priced lunch
• 30% of the children being English language learners
