Meaningful afterschool experiences are key to a child’s healthy development and future success.
 

• DASN believes our youth are in crisis.

• DASN believes that afterschool time has a profound influence on our youth’s future.

• DASN believes that discovering one’s passion leads to a meaningful life.

• DASN inspires youth to find their passion by enabling afterschool providers to engage our youth in high quality programs. We inform, train, evaluate and support organizations that operate free and low-cost programs for our most vulnerable youth.

Inspiring youth and ensuring every child has access to a quality afterschool program does not happen without community wide support. Community members provide vital funding through cash and in-kind donations; serve as caring volunteers and important role models in programs and tell the afterschool story to others. Community support extends our influence and our ability to make afterschool better.
