The Latest on the 2017 and 2018 Federal Budget and 21st Century Community Learning Center Funding
Earlier this month, Congress approved a $1 trillion omnibus spending bill which will fund the government through September 30, 2017. Congress increased 21st Century Community Learning Centers funding by $25 million over the FY2016 level, to $1.19 billion-a win for children, families and the country. The proposed increase means doors to quality local afterschool and summer learning programs will stay open for 1.6 million students and families. Additionally, it will make programs available for 25,000 of the 19.4 million students currently waiting for access.
This fight is far from over. President Trump's FY 2018 budget eliminates 21st CCLC program funding. It's time to double down: here are two simple actions you can take to keep the pressure on.
- Invite a member of Congress to visit your program over Memorial Day. Site visits are hands-down the most effective way to show your representatives that afterschool works-and with our comprehensive tools, they're easy to plan! More HERE.
- Give your representatives a ring with this new call tool-you can look up lawmakers' phone numbers and refer to a sample call script in one place, HERE.
We have 5 months until the 2018 budget takes effect. Congress needs to keep hearing that afterschool works every step of the way during deliberations. With all the pressures on Congress to find money to support the president's agenda, we cannot be complacent. We've got this Indiana!

Mark Your Calendar for the National Summer Learning Day!
National Summer Learning Day will be held on July, 13, 2017. Summer Learning Day is an annual national advocacy day led by the National Summer Learning Association (NSLA) to highlight the importance of keeping kids learning, safe, and healthy every summer.

Career education bill includes opportunities for afterschool
On May 4, Reps. Glenn "GT" Thompson (R-Pa.) and Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-Ill.) introduced the Strengthening Career and Technical Education (CTE) for the 21st Century Act. The proposed bill emphasizes the importance of employability skills and makes career exploration an allowable use of CTE funding as early as the middle grades (5th grade and beyond). Community-based providers, such as afterschool programs, are explicitly mentioned as eligible entities, which should smooth the way for afterschool programs to be considered school district partners.

The Benjamin Harrison Presidential Site has been offering curriculum based programming that aligns with state standards to school groups at our museum for years. We have expanded our offerings-in that now we have the ability to do all of our programming on site and off site. In the last couple of years we have provided after school programming for AYS and YMCA. We realize that in the after school construct-it is a multi grade/age session. We have adjusted our programming to reflect and serve a wide audience.
The following is a link to the education programs that we offer.
We have found "Coming to America", "Settlers and Surveyors", and "A Pledge is a Promise" to be very popular with after school providers.

See why interest in Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) continues to grow across the country in this new guide released by The Wallace Foundation.
Written by Stephanie Jones, an associate professor in human development and urban education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, and a team of Harvard researchers, this report has a unique focus on out-of-school-time (OST) programs.
This in-depth guide to 25 evidence-based programs, aimed at elementary schools and OST providers, offers information about curricular content and programmatic features that practitioners can use to make informed choices about their SEL programs.
The first of its kind, the guide allows practitioners to compare curricula and methods across top SEL programs and explains how programs can be adapted from schools to out-of-school-time settings, such as afterschool and summer programs.
