Our Approach

Quality & Training
We have led the process of building a quality improvement system for expanded learning programs. We also offer a wide array of training options from workshops to our annual Bridge Conference.

Policy & Advocacy
We mobilize and create a unified voice for expanded learning, promoting policies to ensure equitable opportunities for children and youth to quality afterschool and summer programs.

Grants to Programs
Through Feed Your Brain and the Refugee School Impact Grant (RSIG), we provide resources to expanded learning programs and communities. We also provide guidance in seeking additional funding support.

Racial Equity
Our programs and initiatives reflect our core belief that access to high-quality expanded learning opportunities is essential for closing the opportunity gap and challenging inequity.
