Our why
- 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.
