This past year marked the devastating impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, a reckoning with systemic racism, and the toll of climate change. Through it all, afterschool systems rose to address every challenge. At the 2021 Every Hour Counts National Institute, participants will gather virtually to reimagine the future of afterschool and what’s possible to engage, empower, and support young people.

Million Girls Moonshot Free Toolkit |
The Engineering Mindset Toolkit is a collection of resources and tools for all 50 Mott Afterschool States Networks and their partners to access and utilize for the Million Girls Moonshot Initiative.
The resources in the Engineering Mindset Toolkit are not exhaustive. We will continue to add and modify the resources as the Initiative evolves and depending upon the needs of the Networks.
The Million Girls Moonshot focuses on the Engineering Mindset which we believe compliments the STEM mindset, as well as innovation, invention, and entrepreneurial education.
The Nevada Afterschool Network is excited to join the Million Girls Moonshot in this movement and empower the girls in our state. Stay tuned for exciting STEM opportunities for NV girls!

Getting Ready for Summer
Summer Learning & Recovery
|
Summer learning programs have the power to be a game changer for youth. Programs can help students re-connect with peers and caring adults, re-engage in learning, and accelerate students’ social, emotional, and academic recovery.
The Afterschool Alliance has created a factsheet summarizing the benefits and research on summer programs that explains how they help accelerate learning and meet kids’ needs. It emphasizes messaging about equity, highlights role programs play in addressing hunger, and includes research-based strategies for successful summer programs.
