The past few days have been particularly fraught with remarkable tensions swirling around the national election. With Michigan playing a key role in the emerging outcome this week, heightened anxiety and distress have understandably had an impact on the lives of all of us – children, families and youth development professionals.
We at the Michigan After-School Partnership are here to continue to support our out-of-school time community. We look ahead with hope and recognition of the bi-partisan support that our nation's 21st Century Community Learning Centers program has long enjoyed.
The Michigan After-School Partnership champions statewide access to quality and equitable Out-of-School Time programs to ensure that all children and youth succeed.
