Welcome
Welcome to the Ohio Afterschool Network website. The network serves as a vehicle to positively impact the afterschool environment in Ohio. We bring together a number of systems and stakeholders, including policymakers, educators, parents, and service providers. Through the abilities of this network, our work will result in all Ohio families having access to high quality afterschool experiences.
OAN Highlights
♦ Attention ELOs! The Charles Stewart Mott Foundation is seeking videos of ELOs in action, as well as copies of program evaluations that show the positive impacts on participants to include with the Make It Stick campaign. The goal of this campaign is to bring to life a New Day for Learning by showing what is already happening and working in communities across the country and by providing the steps that can be taken to make the New Day vision a reality.
