BREAKING NEWS

Please see below for a timely update from the Afterschool Alliance:

The federal government is saying it will release funds for local afterschool and summer programs–FY25 21st Century Community Learning Centers funds–to states next week. This victory for children and families is a direct result of your work. Every one of your efforts to communicate with lawmakers, mobilize parents and allies, and so much more mattered!!! 

Take a moment to celebrate!

Read our blog on the release of 21st CCLC funds and Jodi Grant’s statement. 

Funds for programs next year are still in peril. Funding for FY26 is still in peril as the President has called for eliminating dedicated funding for afterschool and summer going forward as well as deep cuts to afterschool STEM education.
