Help Kids Recover Website
As we continue to pivot and reimagine the future of afterschool moving into summer, we want to ensure you have all the necessary resources and supports to provide effective, high-quality programming to your students. The Afterschool Alliance partnered with several youth development and out-of-school time experts to launch the Help Kids Recover website. This site has information and resources covering how you can take action today to make the most of the American Rescue Plan and ESSER funding opportunity and advocate for afterschool in your community.

Afterschool Alliance
Afterschool Alliance is a key partner in helping MTAA connect our state-specific work to national efforts to ensure that all children have access to affordable, quality afterschool programs. They are a great starting point whether you want to learn why afterschool matters or you want to learn how to communicate the impacts you see everyday in afterschool.
