Afterschool Updates and News
Congratulations to our own Cherry Penn from Baldwin County…..
Baldwin County Educator named Afterschool Ambassardor
Every afternoon across the nation, over 15 million children are alone and unsupervised after school. The National Afterschool Alliance has conducted numerous research projects, surveys, and studies. Please take a few minutes to review their findings - National Afterschool Alliance Studies.
As part of their research, the NAA developed documentation of the results per state. Below are Alabama’s reports for 2009 and 2011. As you can see, Alabama has made some progress, but still has far to go.
Help us be a part of making change and improving quality Afterschool programming!
