California Afterschool Network Campaign to Celebrate Regular Student Attendance in After School Programs

The Start - Stay - Succeed Campaign

Recent research has overwhelmingly shown that frequent attendance in after school programs produces positive outcomes for children and youth. Students who participate in after school programs are likely to experience academic gains, show increased pro-social and behavior outcomes, and their communities may see a reduction in juvenile crime. Research also suggests that a lack of supervision after school is associated with negative outcomes for disadvantaged youth. 


The California Afterschool Network Start - Stay - Succeed Campaign is a way for individual programs to encourage and celebrate regular participation in after school programs, and a way for statewide programs to illustrate how many students are participating at high attendance levels throughout the state.
