Save 21stCCLC - Take Action Now!
In President Trump's proposed budget for 2018, 21st CCLC funding has been cut completely. The elimination of this funding would mean that 1.7 million children and youth across the U.S would have no place to go, including 14,000 children and youth in Oregon.
Programs that provide educational help, extra curricular activities that keeping our kids safe and engaged, and meals that many kids rely on, will disappear in the blink of an eye if the budget proposed by the president is approved.
We can't ignore the obvious threatening implications of this proposed budget. Without funding from 21st CCLC, programs that students depend on will disappear.
Help us fight back and
share your story
of how
#AfterschoolWorks
with your congress people!

Let's Talk About ESSA
In 2016, OregonASK was awarded a grant from the Overdeck Family Foundation to support our Afterschool & Summer STEM Policy work. We focused our efforts on offering solutions to help policymakers and STEM partners thoroughly understand the importance and role that afterschool and summer STEM & CTE opportunities play in creating equitable systems to support all youth in Oregon.
Built from the feedback of our statewide work group, we compiled a report,
A Sustainable Pathway for All, that outlines opportunities for afterschool STEM, and recommendations for the state and local level implementation.
In 2018, we will gathering STEM/CTE Expanded Learning Focus Groups with
several key objectives to help increase awareness while
building equitable recommendations that are reflective and representative of all
communities around Oregon. Our next Focus Group will be held on March 14th from 1-4pm at our offices in Wilsonville,
We look forward to continuing the
discussion of policies that could be implemented at various levels across the state to further support ESSA implementation and whole student success.
