Every child in Florida should have high-quality afterschool opportunities that are accessible, affordable, accountable and inclusive. The Florida Afterschool Network was established in 2005 to provide unified leadership to advocate for the development, enhancement, sustainability and accessibility of evidence-based, high-quality afterschool and summer learning programs and policies statewide. In Florida, there are currently more than 500,000 students receiving expanded learning opportunities through afterschool and out-of-school time programs. However, for every one child in a program, three more are waiting to get in. That's where we come in. What we do: COLLABORATE with public & private partners to share high-quality & innovative resources with afterschool & summer programs. PROMOTE QUALITY standards for afterschool & summer learning programs that inform program decisions, public awareness & accelerate learning. ADVOCATE for policies that expand funding, availability & accessibility of afterschool & summer programs.
