School-age children and youth spend 80% of their waking hours outside of school, and one in five young people in the U.S. are alone after school ends. High-quality afterschool programs promote positive youth development and offer a safe space where youth can explore their potential. Effective afterschool programs provide learning settings that bring a wide range of benefits to youth, families and communities.
After-school programs can support social, emotional, cognitive and academic development, reduce youth exposure to risk, promote physical health and provide a safe and supportive environment for children and youth. According to Youth.gov, after-school programs also provide a significant return on investment, with every $1 invested saving at least $3 through increasing earning potential, improving educational outcomes and reducing the odds of future criminal justice system involvement.
