Edge Research and Afterschool Alliance conducted a series of surveys of afterschool providers during the pandemic. 

Eight months into COVID-19, there are three key trends are shaping the landscape of afterschool programs across the nation:

• Many more afterschool programs are operating now than were in the spring and summer.
• Programs are able to serve only about half as many students as they supported before the pandemic.
• The children being left behind are disproportionately those from low-income families.
