Let’s Talk the Future of Afterschool is a bi-weekly, interactive conversation that will provide timely updates and resources to our membership and inform policymakers, funders, and other decision-makers about the state of the afterschool field's efforts and needs.

These conversations—with program leaders, funders, researchers, and other decision-makers—will explore the current situation facing the afterschool field and, most important, look beyond the immediate crisis and into the future.

Each conversation will:

  1. Provide examples of effective responses to the crisis and data from the field
  2. Identify anticipated issues and the roles of influential people and organizations to provide resources to address them
  3. Learn about specific actions for different audiences to address short- and long-term issues

Participants will be able to ask questions, write comments and respond to others through the Zoom chat function.
