Our why


Out of school experiences are essential to the success of our youth. They provide valuable opportunities for young people to explore new subjects, stay engaged and motivated, and build vital life skills. Yet today, more families have difficulty finding and affording programs and providers must utilize disjointed tools to manage their offerings; inequity and inconsistent quality are prevalent.

    • Children spend 80% of their time outside of school, but there is a wide disparity in how they spend that time.

    • Middle-income students spend nearly 4,000 more hours in afterschool and summer learning programs by sixth grade than lower-income peers.

    • For every child in an afterschool program, 3 are waiting to get in –nearly 25 million children aren’t able to access.

    • Summer enrichment programs also face high unmet demand with only 22% of children in a structured summer experience.

    • Children involved in extracurricular activities and programs are 400 percent more likely to go to college.

    • 10 million children are enrolled in youth programs and activities; only a fraction of programs meet the highest standards for quality.
