Afterschool Partners
Partnering to Improve Afterschool Programs
Verizon Foundation is working in partnership with the National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the National Urban League (NUL) and the Afterschool Alliance to celebrate, support and advocate for afterschool programs. "Studies show that quality afterschool programs can improve school attendance and engagement in learning, raise test scores and improve grades, keep kids safe, help with social skills and self-esteem, and make life easier for working families," said Patrick Gaston, president of the Verizon Foundation.
